A hospital cannot evacuate like an office. Patients on ventilators, in operation theatres and in critical care depend on staff and equipment staying in place for as long as possible. That makes the first minutes after ignition decisive. Our systems protect the electrical rooms, UPS cabinets, stores and service areas where hospital fires often begin, acting on their own and alerting the facility team immediately.
Hospitals carry heavy electrical loads around the clock: HVAC, imaging, life support, lighting and UPS systems. Oxygen enriched areas raise fire intensity. Many patients cannot walk, and moving critical patients takes time and staff. Electrical rooms, stores and plant spaces are often unattended, while nurses and doctors are rightly focused on patients rather than on equipment rooms.
The NDMA Hospital Safety Guidelines devote a full chapter to fire safety, covering structural and non structural measures and staff preparedness for evacuation. The Directorate General Fire Services notes that NBC 2016 Part 4 sets the fire and life safety provisions states apply to buildings. Autonomous suppression in high risk service spaces supports these measures by containing a fire before it reaches wards.
Hospitals also face a power dilemma. Isolating electricity to fight a fire can affect life support and critical equipment, so a fire in an electrical room is especially dangerous. Containing it inside the panel or room where it starts helps keep the rest of the electrical system running while engineers make controlled decisions.
Most of these sit behind closed doors, away from clinical staff.
Main panels, distribution boards and changeover panels feed the whole building and run at high load all day and night.
UPS systems keeping critical equipment running hold large battery banks in enclosed rooms.
Air handling units, ducts and AC panels run continuously and can carry smoke across floors once a fire starts.
Linen, consumables, records and packaging create a high fire load in store rooms that are rarely staffed.
Patient kitchens and ward pantries run cooking appliances, heaters and kettles through every shift.
Areas with medical oxygen allow materials to burn more intensely, which makes early action critical.
The Comodo protects the inside of electrical panels, UPS cabinets and server racks with infrared flame and rate of rise heat detection, a camera image before activation and a water based suppressant. The Protector protects rooms such as stores, records rooms, pantries and staff areas with multi sensor confirmation, a 10 or 15 litre water based, non toxic tank covering up to 6 m by 6 m, and alerts by app, SMS and email.
A typical hospital layout places Comodo units inside main and floor panels, UPS cabinets and server racks, and Protector units in central stores, records rooms, pantries and staff areas. For DG sets and pump rooms, The Ranger protects the machinery itself. We plan installation around clinical schedules to avoid disrupting patient care.
Containing a fire in a service room protects the time staff need to keep patients safe.
Water based, non toxic suppressant suits buildings where vulnerable people are present.
Engineering and security teams receive alerts with an image, without pulling nurses from patients.
Sensors watch electrical rooms, cabinets and stores continuously, with multi sensor confirmation to avoid triggers from steam or cleaning.
An image is captured before activation, so the facility team can assess the situation from the alert.
Water based, non toxic suppressant discharges over the fire zone, holding the fire in the room or cabinet where it began.
Alerts reach engineering, security and the fire safety officer at once, supporting the hospital emergency plan.
We are not a traditional fire extinguisher company. We engineer autonomous suppression systems, a fundamentally different category of fire protection technology.
Each unit detects, confirms and discharges on its own, then alerts your team. Protection does not depend on someone being present, awake or close enough to reach an extinguisher in time.
Multi sensor logic and a camera image taken before activation help separate a real fire from steam, dust or a passing heat source, which keeps false discharges rare.
Our suppressants are water based and non toxic, so people can remain in the space and clean up is simple. No powder residue settles over equipment or stock.
Alerts by app, SMS or email reach owners, safety officers and facility teams the moment a unit acts, with fault and low battery warnings between events.

Large hospitals and small nursing homes face the same physics with different resources.
Large campuses with many electrical rooms, plant spaces and stores spread across buildings.
Smaller facilities often in converted buildings, with fewer staff on night duty.
Imaging and lab equipment depend on clean, stable power and controlled rooms.
Clinics in commercial buildings often close at night with equipment left on charge.
Patient records and hospital IT systems must survive a fire elsewhere in the building.
DG sets, chillers and pumps keep a hospital running through outages.
Hospitals rely on layered protection and on staff. Each layer has a role.
Detection under IS 2189 gives early warning across wards and corridors. It depends on trained staff and a practised evacuation plan.
Sprinklers under ISO 6182 and hydrants protect the building as required by state rules. They depend on water supply and design across the whole building.
Gaseous systems under ISO 14520 can protect sealed server and records rooms. They need room integrity and careful design.
Units such as The Comodo and The Protector act inside panels and in service rooms. They contain fires at the source and support the building systems.
Compact unit that protects the inside of panels, cabinets, battery enclosures and small rooms.
Self contained indoor unit for rooms in homes, offices, shops, wards and hotel rooms.
Equipment and people both need to be ready, every shift.
Run regular drills on every shift, including night shifts, covering horizontal evacuation of patients who cannot walk.
Audit panels and wiring regularly, and scan for hot spots on circuits feeding critical equipment.
Keep oxygen systems checked for leaks and keep ignition sources and combustibles away from enriched areas.
Keep stores tidy, away from panels, and clear of corridors and exits.
Service every unit annually and after any discharge, and keep alert contact lists current.
Keep drill, maintenance and alert records ready for fire service and accreditation inspections.

No. Hospitals must meet NBC 2016 Part 4 provisions as applied by the state and follow NDMA hospital safety guidance. Our units add local suppression in service spaces.
The suppressant is water based and non toxic. We focus on electrical rooms, cabinets, stores and service areas rather than clinical zones, which need specialist design.
Main electrical rooms, UPS rooms, server rooms and central stores, because fires there can cut power or spread smoke before staff notice.
The state fire service issues the NOC against the building. Our systems support your fire safety plan but do not secure an approval on their own.
Units are self contained and need no plumbing, which keeps installation simple. Share your layout and we will propose a phased plan within your budget.
