A fire in the garage can cause serious damage to the building structure.
Water mist for parking garages and car parks offers a modern and effective fire protection solution for enclosed and high-risk areas. Due to urban development and limited space in crowded cities, many parking garages are located in the basements of commercial or residential buildings. Parking garages pose several fire risks due to the close parking of vehicles and the high content of flammable materials, and a fire in a parked car can easily spread and endanger the entire building.
The VID FIREKILL low-pressure water mist system is the ideal solution for protecting parking garages. The system offers fast and reliable protection against various fire hazards during fire control and suppression. The system uses only drinking water as a suppressant and is safe for people and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A water mist system is a modern fire suppression technology that uses finely sprayed water to effectively control fires with minimal property damage.
Water mist rapidly cools the area and displaces oxygen, preventing fire spread. It is gentle on vehicles and electrical installations.
Water mist uses smaller droplets and lower water flow. It is more efficient for fire suppression in enclosed spaces with less water usage.
Installation requires project documentation, a water source, and appropriate nozzles. The system must comply with EN 14972 standards.
The price depends on the garage size, building type, and system components. A professional design and tailored quote are required.
