The landscape of fire suppression is changing—and fast. With new regulations banning AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) systems due to their PFAS content, insurance companies are tightening requirements. DTO buildings and industrial facilities are now being forced to replace outdated fire suppression systems or risk losing coverage.
At F.E. Moran, we don’t just follow the industry—we lead it. As experts in fire protection, we’ve been at the forefront of helping businesses navigate this shift with innovative, compliant, and highly effective solutions. We’ve partnered with leading manufacturers to ensure our clients have the best alternatives available—without sacrificing safety or performance.
For decades, AFFF was the go-to solution for suppressing flammable liquid fires. But it contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)—a group of “forever chemicals” linked to environmental and health risks. As a result, state and federal regulations are banningPFAS-based firefighting foams, forcing businesses to rethink their fire suppression strategies.
For facility managers and DTO building owners, the impact is clear:
