Prevent Fires Before They Start: Protect Lives, Assets, and the Environment When it comes to fires, an early response is critical. But what if you could take action before a fire even begins? With FLIR’s cutting-edge active thermography, you have the power to detect potential risks before they escalate, safeguarding lives, assets, and even the environment.

Fires can originate from a range of sources—electrical malfunctions, chemical reactions, volatile substances, or external environmental factors. No facility is entirely immune to the devastating consequences of fire damage. The financial toll, environmental impact, operational disruptions, and, most tragically, the loss of life, can be catastrophic. Fires have the potential to shut down even the most successful businesses, leaving long-lasting repercussions.

From Reactive To Proactive Fire Detection With FLIR’s active thermography technology, early fire detection (EFD) takes on a whole new dimension, providing industry-specific solutions for high-risk environments:

1. EFD for Waste and Biomass Management: Waste and biomass facilities are particularly susceptible to fire hazards due to the highly combustible nature of materials, such as organic waste, woodchips, or recycling by-products.

• FLIR’s EFD solutions can continuously monitor stockpiles and detect temperature anomalies, such as hotspots caused by spontaneous combustion.
• By identifying these risks early, operators can take immediate action to cool down affected areas, preventing fire outbreaks.
• Active thermography not only minimizes property damage but also prevents the release of harmful emissions that can result from fires in waste facilities.

2. EFD for Battery Charging and Energy Storage: In facilities where lithium-ion batteries are charged, stored, or recycled, the risk of thermal runaway events is a serious concern.

• FLIR’s EFD systems are designed to detect even the slightest changes in temperature during the charging or discharging process.
• Continuous monitoring of battery modules ensures early detection of overheating cells, enabling pre-emptive actions before ignition occurs.
• This is especially critical for industries relying on large-scale energy storage systems, where preventing fires protects investments and ensures operational continuity.
