Good News for Housing Association Fire Protection

A joint venture between Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue, Stevenage Borough Council and the Ultra Fire Group will be demonstrating and explaining the benefits of Watermist to an audience of Housing Associations.


Nick Ketteridge, the Technical Director of the Ultra Fire Group, will be explaining the concept of water mist and how it works in combating fires at source. There will be a live demonstration of Ultra's 'FireGuard' portable water mist system - designed to protect vulnerable people and areas. The UltraGuard is portable, quickly installed and can be programmed to send warning messages to management, residents and the Fire & Rescue Services via SMS, telephone or local area networks.


The demonstration will cover all aspects of UltraGuard, including the integral control panel and the fail-safe power supply system that consists of a mains trickle charge and a 7 day back-up battery in the event of power failure. 


Water mist uses 20% of the water required by a conventional sprinkler system and as such lends itself to be used in flexible, portable units for specific fire risk control. Tested at BRE Watford in front of many Fire Brigades recently, the unit is a unique answer to a problem faced by many Housing Associations and multiple-occupation residences, as well as being a solution to other venues in search of temporary fire suppression systems.


UltraGuard can be ready for use in short time and requires nothing but a power supply. For further details on this and a wide range of other products, visit the Ultra Fire Group website at www.ultrafiregroup.co.uk or call 0845 6008330 for expert advice.
