Ultra Surefire demonstrated the newest developments in water mist fire protection coinciding with the introduction of the new British Standard for water mist systems. This is a crucial stage in recognising the vital roles that these systems play in applications ranging from care homes to data centres and from restaurant kitchens to historic buildings.
Leading specialists in water mist system design and installation, Ultra launched into 2011 with an exciting day of live demonstrations and lectures at the BRE (Building Research Establishment) in Watford in February.
For those responsible for fire protection and health & safety throughout industry, healthcare, construction and many other sectors, this was not a day to be missed.
