ECARO-25 To Protect the Big Apple!

Fike Corporation today announced that its ECARO-25 clean-agent fire suppression system is now available in New York City.

The New York City Department of Buildings granted Fike its Material & Equipment Acceptance (MEA) approval on May 26, 2005. Fike will offer the ECARO-25 system through its network of fire suppression distributors in and around New York City.

The ECARO-25 system uses DuPont FE-25 (a safe, clean, gaseous chemical agent) to protect critical assets from fire without the damaging effects of water-based extinguishing systems. Such systems are typically used in computer rooms, telecommunications centers, document storage facilities and other spaces in which people and critical assets are located.

“We’ve sold the ECARO-25 system all over the world, and are extremely pleased to now be able to offer this level of fire protection and value to the people and businesses of New York City,” said John Davis, Fike’s Eastern Regional Sales Manager.

“In addition to being able to extinguish a fire without the damaging effects of sprinklers, the ECARO-25 system is the single most cost-effective clean agent system on the market. It’s 20% less expensive than its nearest competitor, and up to 37% less expensive than some of the newer market entrants,” adds Davis.

In addition to MEA approval and a variety of international approvals, the ECARO-25 system has both Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) and Factory Mutual (FM) approval.
