Sprinkler Systems

A properly functioning fire sprinkler system can often mean the difference between a minor accident and major loss, not only can it suppress the fire allowing occupants time needed to evacuate but also helps protect the lives of first responders and in many cases even extinguishes the fire before first responders arrive.

Over time all mechanical systems suffer wear and tear. Your fire sprinkler system is no exception to this rule. Sprinkler heads, valves, gauges, and pipe fittings need proper inspection and maintenance. With our regularly scheduled inspection and maintenance services you can ensure that your system is properly functioning when needed.

Suppression Systems

Special Suppression Systems

Wet sprinkler systems are reliable, but special situations and hazards call for special protection. Special Hazard Fire suppression systems are generally used in conjunction with detection systems and are quick responding. A hazardous application has greater risk of fire spreading quickly so a rapid response system is critical to help smother a fire and limit the risk of asset loss and damage. These systems require regular maintenance services and inspections to ensure proper operation in the event of a fire. Wcfp provides inspections testing and installation of special suppression systems for a range of industries and sectors from industrial facilities to hospitals our experts will ensure you are protected.

Kitchen Suppression Systems

Restaurants and commercial kitchens pose a unique challenge for fire protection. Deep fryers, open flame grills and exhaust systems all pose a serious risk for fire without regular maintenance, cleaning and inspections.

NFPA 17a and 96 require that a qualified fire protection technician inspect and test the entire kitchen suppression system semi annually (every 6 months), including:
Examining all detectors, compressed gas containers, agent cylinders, releasing devices, piping, hose assemblies, nozzles, signals, all auxiliary equipment and the liquid level of all non-pressurized wet chemical containers as well as verifying that distribution piping is not obstructed and replacing fusible links.

Fire Extinguishers

Portable Fire extinguishers are perhaps the most common fire safety device that comes to mind for good reason, they are often the first line of defense when fighting a fire. Having properly serviced and inspected fire extinguishers is key to reliable operation when its needed. On average, less than 50% of building occupants feel confident in knowing how to operate an extinguisher or where their closest extinguisher is located and of people that use fire extinguishers 50% do so incorrectly. That’s why at West Coast Fire Protection not only do our ASTT certified technicians install inspect and service extinguishers we also offer hands on training so your buildings occupants feel confident in the event of an emergency.

Backflow Preventers

The Canadian standards association defines a cross connection as any actual or potential connection between a potable water system and any source of pollution or contamination. Cross connections are present in every water system and, depending on the size of the system, hundreds or thousands of potential cross connections can exist.

Backflow prevention devices are used to protect potable water supplies from contamination or pollution due to a backflow or backsiphonage condition. In a water supply system, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower, or other fixtures. Water pressure can be reduced or reversed in extreme cases when a water main bursts, pipes freeze, or when there is unexpectedly high demand on the water system. Reduced pressure in the pipe may allow contaminated water from the soil, storage, or other sources to be drawn back into the water system. Give us a call and have our BCWWA certified backflow testers ensure your water system is being correctly protected.

Fire Hydrants

Private fire hydrants are a key component in fire fighting, allowing fire fighters access to a water supply when needed. And like all fire safety equipment they require regular inspections and maintenance to ensure proper operation in the event of an emergency. As well as our annual inspection and full tear down service Fire hydrants are to be inspected in intervals no less than 6 months and after every use. BC fire code and NFPA 291 also state that fire hydrants must be in working condition at all times. Damage to fire hydrants is common on the west coast which is why regularly scheduled inspections ensure your equipment is in proper working order when it counts.
