Fire protection isn’t just about fighting flames; it’s about staying ahead of evolving safety standards. In Tacoma, businesses are now facing an important choice: stick with outdated firefighting methods using PFAS-based foams or move forward with PFAS-free fire suppression systems that protect both people and the environment. At Compass Fire Protection, we’re here to help you make the smart, forward-thinking choice for your facility.
Let’s talk about why this switch is so crucial. PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” have been a key component in traditional firefighting foams for decades. Sure, they do a great job knocking down those high-intensity fires, but there’s a catch—they’re bad news for the environment and human health. These chemicals don’t break down, which means they hang around in water, soil, and even in our bodies(The PFAS Project Lab)(Waste Advantage Magazine).
Washington State has already set the wheels in motion for phasing out these dangerous foams by 2025. That means, as a business owner or facility manager, you’ve got a window to make the switch and ensure compliance before the deadline hits(Toxic-Free Future).
Switching to PFAS-free foam doesn’t mean compromising on fire protection. These advanced foams meet all the necessary safety and performance standards required to handle the toughest fire scenarios. At Compass Fire Protection, we’ve tested and approved the systems that provide the same level of effectiveness—without the long-term environmental damage.
Tacoma businesses are starting to see the benefits of this shift, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this movement. We’re not just talking about upgrading; we’re talking about future-proofing your facility with a solution that’s safe, compliant, and sustainable.
At Compass Fire Protection, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every facility is unique, and that’s why we offer tailored fire suppression solutions that fit your specific needs. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
Assessment: We begin by evaluating your current fire suppression system. If you’re still using PFAS-based foam, we’ll guide you through the steps of transitioning to a safer, more eco-friendly system.
