In Pierce County, fire safety is evolving to meet new environmental and health standards. The shift away from PFAS-based firefighting foams, known as "forever chemicals," is creating opportunities for businesses to adopt safer, cleaner alternatives. At Compass Fire Protection, we’re proud to lead the way in providing PFAS-free fire protection solutions that deliver unmatched safety while safeguarding the environment.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have long been a staple in firefighting foams due to their effectiveness in suppressing liquid-based fires. However, these chemicals have a dark side—they persist in the environment for decades, contaminating water supplies, soil, and even human health
Washington State is taking a proactive stance, requiring the elimination of PFAS-based foams in fire protection systems by 2025. This regulatory push reflects growing awareness of PFAS's harmful impact and the urgent need for eco-friendly alternatives. For Pierce County businesses, transitioning to PFAS-free fire protection solutions is not just about compliance; it’s about being part of a cleaner, safer future.
At Compass Fire Protection, we offer a range of PFAS-free fire protection options designed to meet your facility’s unique fire safety needs. Our solutions combine cutting-edge technology with eco-friendly practices to provide reliable, effective fire suppression. Here are some of the top PFAS-free options we provide:
Fluorine-Free Foams: These advanced foams provide the same high-performance fire suppression as traditional PFAS-based foams without the environmental risks. Fluorine-free foams are particularly effective for facilities dealing with flammable liquids, such as warehouses and industrial sites.
Water Mist Systems: Using a fine mist to suppress fires, water mist systems are highly efficient and environmentally friendly. They use significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems, reducing waste and minimizing water damage.
Clean Agent Systems: Ideal for sensitive environments like data centers and laboratories, clean agent suppression systems use non-toxic gases to extinguish fires without leaving any residue. These systems are safe for people and equipment, offering a PFAS-free alternative for specialized fire protection needs.
