SAFETY FACTOR INCORPORATES INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL FIRE PROTECTION DESIGN ASPECTS

PROVIDES A FRONT LINE WATER SOURCE FOR RESPONDERS

WildFire Sprinkler System

A Large Scale, Low Cost, Practical Solution to WildFire Management,

in Cooperation with Golder Associates, Southern Irrigation & RW West.


 Introducing the Future of WildFire Defense: Our Innovative Sprinkler System


At Boreal Fire Protection Inc., we're proud to unveil our groundbreaking WildFire Sprinkler System Patent Pending - a state-of-the-art solution dedicated to bolstering the protection of our cherished communities and developments.


Why is this a game-changer?



Traditional fire guards mainly consist of cleared forest areas, employing a combination of tree removal and controlled burns to minimize WildFire threats. While these methods have proven beneficial, we saw room for enhancement.


Our revolutionary system stretches over 4.5km and is designed as a semi-permanent installment, set to dramatically enhance these existing fire guards. But that's not all. This system is primed to spring into action during heightened fire risk times. It will drench live fuels, drastically decreasing their receptivity to fire brands.



Benefits:

  1. Protection Reinforcement: Offering a frontline water source, our responders are now better equipped during emergencies.
  2. Operational Efficiency: The sprinkler system not only fortifies protection barriers but also streamlines fire control operations where it's set up.


With our innovative system, we're not just combating wildfires; we're changing the way we prepare for them. Join us in embracing this leap forward in WildFire defense.

Value

A Large Scale, Low Cost, Practical Solution to WildFire Management

Helicopter Ready

-The system consists of a Diesel/gas/electric pump connected to a water source.


-This pump will be contained in a pump house that has the potential to be helicopter ready, and adaptable for solar panels/charging/batteries for remote applications.

Semi-Permanent System

-The permanent aspect of the system is a welded steel main. We strategically plan the zones coming off the main. 


-Zones are the semi-permanent aspect of the system and will possess the ability to be collected for winterization by a team of 4 people over 2-3 days


-Every ~100m, we install risers off the steel main with a 2.5”/1.5” hose valve. This provides a consistent frontline water source for responders in emergency situations. 



Endless Options

-Sprinkler head selection/ability varies per customer need. From a small 2m radius to a large 95m radius, and 1.4lpm - 4473 lpm flow.



Remote Access

By incorporating existing irrigation products into the design, we are able to achieve complete remote access and control of the WildFire Sprinkler System. 

Incorporation of Fire Protection Design Aspects

-Near the system header, we will install a fire hydrant on a separate supply source, in order to provide a safety factor and a supplemental water supply for emergency scenarios. 


-On the system pump house, we will install a fire department connection. This provides the same function as fire department connections on commercial buildings. It provides a means for supplemental water to the system in emergency scenarios. 


-Every ~100m, we install risers off the steel main with a 2.5”/1.5” hose valve. This provides a consistent frontline water source for responders in emergency situations. 

Time Tested Schedules

Our Systems are designed with a 25-year life cycle and come with a detailed maintenance plan with services such as:


-Weekly/monthly visuals (possible 24/7 monitoring via video camera system such as CCTV)

-Quarterly confirmation of flow/pressure/tamper switches with SCADA monitoring system

-Annual inspection consists of the above, in addition to the following: pump flow tests, complete pump maintenance, system flow tests from a most remote location, backflow device testing, complete system visual

-Annual pressure test pre-commission of summer system

-3-year internal inspections of header and pump impeller

-5-year internal inspections of piping

-5-year PRV test(s)

-5-year hydro pressure test - 150psi or 50psi above working pressure TBD

-5-year sprinkler head sample due to corrosive/highly abrasive environment

Conclusion

The unparalleled merits of our WildFire Sprinkler System are evident. This system is more than just a sprinkler; it's an amalgamation of benefits. By wetting live fuels, it offers a prime water source for first responders during emergencies.
