Thanks for sharing Rick!

Just when we were all under the impression that lithium-ion batteries are the cause of all fires at our waste and recycling facilities, traditional hazards strike again!! By my estimation half of all fires at our waste and recycling facilities are rechargeable battery related. But, traditional hazards, like #fireworks, accelerants, #propane tanks and more still make up about half of the fire hazards we see each and every day. In this case you can see the projectiles (something we see often with large lithium-ion batteries) start a number of fires that we need to deal with. At Fire Rover, our patented and FM Approvals certified solutions, are on the frontline fighting these events daily. Last year we successfully contained and suppressed over 250 fire events and we are on pace to put out more than one fire a day in 2025. To put it in perspective, last Tuesday we suppressed six events in one day. It is clear that our team has more experience fighting more industrial and outdoor fires that any fire protection service in the world! If you would like to learn more about the fire hazards facing our waste, recycling, metals, electronics, hazmat, organics operators, and how we successfully mitigate the risk of catastrophic losses at our 750+ frontline operations across the globe, please join me and my master of ceremonies, Kirk Sander from the National Waste & Recycling Association, for the launch of my latest report, "The 8th Annual Waste & Recycling Facility Fires Report for the US/CAN Q&A," being held March 11th at Noon EST.

Thank you to Chris Logan, CFPS, WBITM, RSE for having me as a guest on The Fire Sprinkler Podcast to share how we work with fire sprinkler contractors and fire engineers to design innovative solutions for our fire prone clients! During our engaging conversation, we delved into various topics, starting from the early days of Fire Rover to the challenges of introducing #innovation to the #firesafety market. We discussed our cutting-edge early detection and how we are utilizing our remotely operated fire suppression solutions for our customers that have an active risk of fire in their operations which include active indoor/outdoor #industrial, #warehousing, #manufacturing, #waste, #recycling, storage, #hangars and more. "We Fight More Fires On The Frontlines Than Any Other Organization Globally" **in 2024 we responding to 2910 verified hotspots or fire incidents as we continue to the pace of suppressing one fires each and everyday of the year at our clients facilities across three continents. Additionally, we explored our latest innovation, the mobile suppression unit known as "The Hotwork Robot," which aims to replace the human "fire-watch" role during cutting, grinding, and welding activities. Chris, who initiated the Fire Sprinkler Podcast in 2018, has created a valuable resource that is essential listening for all my colleagues in the #fire industry. #firesafety #fire #fireprofessionals Watch the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/gwwwTkq8

?? Hot off the presses ?? ?? Feb Fire Report: Fire Rover Releases 2022-2024 Performance Data ?? Why Do I Share this Data? The biggest challenges currently facing the waste and recycling industry are a lack of #insurance options, rising premiums and an overarching decrease in appetite for the risk we see in the industry. The only way to shift this perception from insurers is to prove the industry at large is investing in solutions to mitigate these risks and solve our fire problem. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Our #FireRover system virtually eliminates the risk of catastrophic fire loss in MSW facilities, curbside #recycling, #metal recycling and other operations. Additionally, in nearly all events, operations are back up and running within hours, with very few instances of damage requiring repair.? Have there been instances where hazards bypassed every layer of protection? Yes, twice in 10 years and thousands of successful activations and frontline responses. Insurance companies need to understand the mitigation of fire risk and that it is manageable with an investment in our solution and operational best practices. Last year, I set a goal to ensure we had less publicly reported fires. But with the billions of batteries infiltrating our waste and recycling streams, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to achieve that goal. Check out the my article and analysis published today on Waste360: https://lnkd.in/gQ_KQmdn Join me on March 11th as I release my Q&A being moderated by Kirk Sander, Chief Safety Officer of the National Waste & Recycling Association, for my “8th Annual Waste & Recycling Facility Fire Report for the US / Canada.” You can reserve your seat at: https://lnkd.in/gNanQQFT
