The U.S. Fire Problem Overview
In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,331,500 fires. These fires caused 3,120 civilian deaths and 17,720 civilian injuries. In the same year, 72 firefighters were fatally injured while on duty. There were 78,150 firefighter injuries in 2009.
The 2010 fire statistics (except for firefighter fatalities) are projections derived from NFPA’s annual fire department survey. The 2,650 departments that did respond to the sample survey protect 112,153,200 people, or 36% of the total U.S. population.
On average, a fire department responded to:
- A fire every 24 seconds

- An outside fire every 50 seconds
- And a vehicle fire every 146 seconds
Fire claimed nine lives every day.

R-102™ Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems
The ANSUL® R-102™ Liquid Agent System continues to be the #1 protector of today’s kitchen equipment. Choose from either of two design options…
Appliance-Specific Design. The most efficient fire protection is accomplished when nozzles are selected and aimed at specific hazard areas on each appliance. This method typically provides the most economical use of liquid agent reducing the size or quantity of storage tanks and associated hardware.
Overlapping Appliance Protection. When flexibility and simplicity are most important, nozzles are placed in a straight-line arrangement providing overlapping agent discharge patterns. This creates a virtual fire-free zone where appliances of various types and sizes are protected - even if they are replaced or rearranged under the hood.
New....Agent Distribution Hose
NFPA 17A Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems requires that movable cooking equipment shall be provided with a means to ensure that it is correctly repositioned in relation to the appliance discharge nozzle during cooking operations. In many cases, the appliance discharge nozzle is hard piped to the appliance and renders the movement of the appliance difficult, requiring disconnection of the discharge piping.
The Agent Distribution Hose is designed for use with commercial kitchen appliances manufactured with or resting on casters (wheels/rollers) that have hard piped fire suppression systems.
The Agent Distribution Hose is a component of the suppression system that allows the appliance to be moved for cleaning purposes without disconnecting the appliance fire suppression discharge piping and ensures positive positioning of the appliance nozzle.
