Fire safety is evolving, and Pierce County is no exception. With increasing regulations and growing environmental concerns, replacing traditional AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) systems is no longer a question of if—it’s when. At Compass Fire Protection, we’re here to make that transition seamless, offering expert AFFF replacement services that deliver reliable fire suppression while protecting our planet. Let’s explore why this switch matters and how we make it easy for your facility.
For decades, AFFF has been the go-to solution for suppressing high-intensity liquid fires, especially in industries like aviation, manufacturing, and fuel storage. But there’s a catch: traditional AFFF contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as “forever chemicals.” These substances are extremely persistent in the environment and have been linked to contamination of water supplies and potential health risks
In response, Washington State is phasing out PFAS-containing foams, with full compliance required by 2025. This means businesses across Pierce County must take action to replace AFFF with safer, eco-friendly alternatives.
At Compass Fire Protection, we offer a range of PFAS-free firefighting solutions tailored to the needs of Pierce County businesses. Here’s what you can expect:
Fluorine-Free Foams: These eco-friendly foams are just as effective as traditional AFFF but eliminate the environmental risks associated with PFAS. Perfect for high-risk environments like industrial facilities and warehouses.
Water Mist Systems: For facilities that prioritize water conservation, water mist systems provide efficient fire suppression while using significantly less water than traditional sprinklers.
Clean Agent Suppression Systems: Ideal for sensitive spaces like data centers or laboratories, clean agent systems use non-toxic gases to extinguish fires without damaging equipment or the environment.
Comprehensive Assessment: Our team begins with a detailed evaluation of your current fire suppression system to identify the best PFAS-free alternatives for your facility.
Customized Replacement Plan: We develop a tailored plan to replace your existing AFFF system, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations and maximum efficiency.
Safe Disposal: Outdated AFFF must be disposed of properly to prevent further environmental contamination. We handle the disposal process in compliance with all regulations.
Seamless Installation: Our technicians manage every aspect of the installation, from setup to final testing, to ensure your new system operates flawlessly.
Ongoing Support: We don’t just install and leave. Our team provides routine maintenance and inspections to keep your fire suppression system in top condition for years to come.
