Fires in airport custody and detention centres raise unique life safety and operational challenges.  Fast fire suppression and control of smoke spread are critical. Hydramist’s water mist solutions, designed for custodial environments, meet these challenges and are fast and easy to deploy.

Fire protection challenges in airport custody suites and immigration centres

Fires in custodial environments are often deliberately started and can rapidly spread. Fast fire suppression is essential for life safety, airport operations and damage to infrastructures.

What makes airport custody areas higher risk than a standard land-side police suites is the interaction with airport systems. HVAC and smoke-control ducts that serve concourses can transmit smoke beyond the immediate cell block and evacuation routes may be constrained by security requirements.

Watermist has designed a Hydramist range of high pressure water mist fire protection solutions specifically for custodial environments. These range from smaller, manually-operated water mist solutions to larger, fully-integrated automatic fire protection systems.  See our products pages https://www.watermist.com/products-services/
