Local fire department pumps one million gallons of water with 300 gallons of forestry class foam and 100 gallons of AFFF, with little or no effect on tires, fire continues burning 19 hours later.

A unique and novel technique to protect enclosed facilities from FIRE has emerged. In simply terms it is impossible to create fire (ignition) while using nitrogen enriched or oxygen reduced air (hypoxic) fire prevention system. This system prevents fires from starting, allows continuous occupation by human beings, causes no secondary damages and offers extra-ordinary reliability. When the oxygen concentration is reduced to 15% virtually all common ignition sources cease to function. Thus the nightmare of tire fires is eliminated.

If someone offered you medicine that would prevent you from ever being sick again, would you take it? Prevention is always better then the cure. An important advantage of Resources fire prevention system is that the agent is produced on site from the air we breathe. This system to prevent fires in protected facilities with nitrogen enriched, or oxygen reduced air (hypoxic),which leads to oxygen concentrations of 15% in normo baric (normal) atmospheres is equivalent to the hypobaric atmospheres found at 2,700 m altitudes, where several million residents spend their life, such as Boulder and Denver.

Nitrogen molecules at common flame temperatures do not return the absorbed thermal radiation. Rather it is continuously removed from the combustion zone by the convection process. Because of this, an increase of nitrogen concentration in the air causes a mass-proportional increase in the total loss of emitted thermal energy which inhibits combustion. Increasing the nitrogen content in the gaseous mixture affects its molecular kinetic properties reducing the availability of oxygen molecules for combustion.

Fire suppression with all the current methods of detection and extinguishing rely on one simple fact, a fire must have already started. No matter how good the fire protection is some damage will occur. The ultimate form of fire protection is to prevent ignition in the first place, this is how Resources oxygen reduction process differs from other traditional systems. It is pro-active rather then re-active. The system is 100% effective in preventing fires of any size and origin but is also safe for humans to breathe and work.

A rush of research and development for various applications are being made, and the potential benefits to facilities are many. Implementation issues on fire safety, health, cost, reliability, maintenance and impact on materials being protected have been evaluated. A list of hypotheses which state potential benefits and disadvantages is analysed.The results are both positive and promising, the challenges are found to be few and manageable;

Advantages

· Prevents ignition,combustion,re-ignition

· No transporting or resetting of current systems
· Applicable to any room size, small or gigantic
· No residues, toxins or water damage
· No annual water invoice
· The inherent simplicity promises high reliability

Installation

Resources establish the suitability of a location by undertaking a detailed analysis of the proposed location, including building integrity, human occupancy, furniture, walls, and leakage of the facility. The more air tight the building, the more efficiently equipment operates, think of an air conditioner with open windows. In retrofit installations the system would have the benefit of providing minimal disruption, compared with existing protection system. We are a complimentary system to your current fire protection.

Emissions from tire fires include hazardous pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. They also include hazardous air pollutants, such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, furans, hydrogen chloride, benzene, polychlorinatedbiphenyls stallation; metals,suchasarsenic, cadmium.nickel, zinc, Mercury, chromium and vanadium. The emissions from a fire can pose significant short term and long term health hazards to nearby person’s firefighters and employees. These health effects include irritation of the skin, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory effects, central nervous system depression and cancer. Significant air pollution results in a tire fire from the incomplete combustion of the tires creating a thick, black, foul-smelling smoke.Additionally, as many of the tires melt an oily discharge usually occurs that can seep into the ground water.

Despite the best efforts of fire suppression engineers current fire systems are riddled with problems and may be deemed insufficient to protect against the myriad of fire threats. Heightened security concerns since 9/11 coupled with tightening environmental regulations governing fire-suppression devices has prompted the examination of current fire protection industry and a search for innovations and new design concepts, which we now make available.
