Fire Suppression & Detection Solutions

Comprehensive Suppression Solutions for Every Environment

Fire suppression is the first line of defense against catastrophic loss, protecting lives, property, and operations. At F.E. Moran, we engineer fire suppression systems that provide instant response, ensuring that fires are contained before they can escalate. From water-based sprinklers to specialized clean agent systems, our solutions are designed for commercial, industrial, and high-risk environments.

‍

Our fire suppression services include design, installation, maintenance, and retrofitting, ensuring compliance with NFPA, OSHA, and state and local fire codes. Whether safeguarding a manufacturing plant, data center, healthcare facility, or warehouse, F.E. Moran delivers customized solutions that maximize safety and minimize damage.

Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems

Water remains the most widely used fire suppression agent due to its effectiveness and reliability. F.E. Moran designs and installs a range of water-based systems to meet the unique needs of each facility:

Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems – Always charged with water, these provide instant suppression upon fire detection.
Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems – Designed for freezing environments, preventing water from sitting in pipes until activation.
Pre-Action Systems – Prevents accidental discharge, ideal for data centers and museums.
Deluge Systems – Releases large volumes of water instantly, used in high-hazard environments like power plants and fuel storage facilities.
Water Mist Systems – Uses fine droplets to cool flames and suppress fires while minimizing water damage.

All water-based suppression systems are tested and maintained to comply with NFPA 13, NFPA 25, and local AHJ standards.

Foam-Based Fire Suppression

For facilities handling flammable liquids or chemicals, traditional water suppression is often insufficient. F.E. Moran’s foam suppression systems provide rapid fire knockdown for fuel-based fires, including:

High-Expansion Foam – Ideal for large-scale industrial applications, aircraft hangars, and hazardous material storage.
Low-Expansion Foam – Used for petrochemical, LNG, and midstream storage facilities, forming a protective blanket over flammable liquids.
Foam-Water Deluge Systems – Combines the effectiveness of foam with water-based deluge for high-risk environments.

These systems meet NFPA 11 and NFPA 16 standards and are critical for high-risk industrial environments.

Clean Agent Fire Suppression

When water or foam cannot be used, such as in IT facilities, telecommunications centers, and power generation plants, F.E. Moran provides non-water-based suppression solutions, including:

FM-200 & Novec 1230 – Displaces oxygen to suppress fires without harming electronics or sensitive equipment.
CO₂ Systems – Highly effective for enclosed industrial applications, ensuring fire suppression without residue.
Inert Gas Suppression (Argonite, Inergen) – Uses a blend of gases to reduce oxygen levels while being safe for human-occupied areas.

These systems comply with NFPA 2001 and are designed to minimize business downtime while maximizing safety.

Fire Detection & Alarm Systems: Intelligent Detection, Instant Response.

Early Detection Saves Lives

Fire detection systems are the first layer of protection, providing rapid alerts to prevent loss of life and property damage. At F.E. Moran, we design, install, and maintain advanced fire alarm systems tailored to the specific risks of each facility.

‍

From intelligent addressable alarms to mass notification systems, our solutions ensure rapid response, allowing first responders and building occupants to act immediately. Our systems comply with NFPA 72 and integrate seamlessly with suppression technologies for comprehensive protection.

‍

Fire Alarm & Mass Notification Systems

Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm Panels – Pinpoint fire locations in real time, ensuring precise emergency response.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems – Reliable detection for small to medium-sized commercial properties.
Mass Notification & Voice Evacuation – Provides clear, automated emergency instructions for rapid evacuation.
Gas & Flame Detection – Essential for industrial facilities where chemical and fuel leaks pose fire hazards.
Remote Monitoring & Smart Integration – Cloud-based monitoring for 24/7 oversight of fire protection systems.

Our fire alarm solutions ensure seamless integration with suppression systems, providing comprehensive facility-wide safety.

Specialized Fire Detection Technologies

Certain environments require advanced detection beyond traditional smoke alarms. F.E. Moran provides:

Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) – Draws air samples for early-stage fire detection in high-value environments.
Linear Heat Detection – Ideal for conveyor belts, tunnels, and high-risk industrial areas.
Explosion-Proof & Classified Devices – Designed for hazardous locations with combustible materials.

These detection systems ensure compliance with NFPA and OSHA requirements while minimizing false alarms.
