Why A Water Mist Fire Suppression System Is The Best Choice For Your Property

 

There exist various ways to extinguish a fire, such as utilising fire sprinkler systems or gaseous fire extinguishers. Water mist systems are becoming more famous on account of the multiple advantages they provide, not just to private homes but commercial establishments as well. For this reason, many people today are choosing to have a water mist fire suppression system installed in their properties.

What’s a water mist system?

This type of fire suppression utilises plenty of tiny water drops that eliminate the oxygen from the fire bit by bit to reduce the heat. By decreasing its temperature and keeping it from dispersing, the fire eventually dies out. Water mists are the sole equipment that has this unique characteristic, making it an outstanding alternative to other flame suppression systems.

Is a water mist fire suppression system truly worth your money, though? Here are four reasons why you should have them installed now.

They don’t use harmful chemicals.

Compared with water mists, which purely use water alone to put out flames, fire extinguishers use gas formulated with chemicals like carbon dioxide that may cause suffocation if inhaled by accident. And when cleaning up, you just need to remove the water on the floor and let your furnishings dry as soon as the water mist system has stopped. On the other hand, tidying up items that touched a fire extinguisher’s gas is time-consuming and exposes you to unsafe chemicals that may irritate your throat, lungs, and eyes if you don’t put on gloves or protective attire.

They are a cost-effective option

Water mists are far better than something like fire sprinklers because they utilise less water to snuff out a fire. This means that you will shell out more cash on your water bills in the future if you decide to set up fire sprinklers. Having water mist installers set up their equipment within your building will enable you to get the appropriate security you require without spending loads of cash.

These do not cause too much damage to your belongings.

Water mist installers offer systems that are safer for your appliances and furniture, particularly those things built from metal and wood, which are more at risk to water damage. This is a huge improvement in comparison to fire sprinklers and extinguishers, which can do more damage to your stuff. Fire extinguishers can deal irreversible damage to your electronics and carpets, while fire sprinklers use excessive water that severely soaks furnishings. Nonetheless, they are still useful fire protection systems.

You don’t need formal training to use them.

Because water mist systems can start without delay as soon as a fire is detected, you don’t need any training to know how to use them. On the other hand, you’d need appropriate instruction regarding how to use fire extinguishers. Make a single miscalculation in utilising fire extinguishers, and they might cause nasty accidents, such as breathing in carbon dioxide. This can make individuals have difficulties in breathing, feel lightheaded, and lose consciousness.

You’ve got the freedom to choose which safety fire system suits your needs, but acquiring a water mist fire suppression system to make your workplaces and households safe from fire accidents is the optimal call. Always remember to decide on services and products that will provide you with advantages with regards to cash, security, and health.

Firebug (graphic novel) story and art by Johnnie Christmas, colors by Tamra Bonvillain
Firebug - Johnnie Christmas

Okay, I'm going to start off by saying that I got a little lost at times and wasn't always sure about what was going on. I'll try to describe the story as best I can, but I could be wrong about a few things.

Azar is a city located at the foot of a volcano. The people of Azar used to perform rituals to appease the goddess of the volcano, but that didn't stop the volcano from occasionally erupting and destroying everything. Eventually the Cult of the Goddess left Azar and established a new home for themselves, the Golden Capitol. It's now many, many years later, and there's a rebel group called the Third Wave that's convinced that the Cult of the Goddess is keeping the goddess captive, and they want to free her.

Keegan is the goddess's daughter. She tries to help the rebels, but something goes wrong, her mother ends up dead, and Keegan becomes the new goddess. At that point, she becomes determined to go back to Azar, the home of her ancestors. However, the Cult of the Goddess isn't her only enemy. An emissary from the water goddess is after her, and there's a prophecy that Keegan's return to Azar will mean its destruction.

This was an ARC my mom picked up for me at a conference. As far as I can tell, this volume collects the entire series. It doesn't appear to be a spinoff of anything, although it kind of felt like it was, and I can't find anything about any sort of continuation, even though the ending leaves room for more story.

I didn't like the artwork at all, but Tamra Bonvillain's coloring helped paper over some of its shortcomings and almost make it pretty, at times. There was some really nice use of cool vs. warm colors.

The story was intriguing enough, but confusing and a bit choppy. I had thought the Cult of the Goddess would be important in some way, but after the confined goddess was dealt with, they might as well have been written out of the story. It felt like they had been, after Adria rescued Griffin. Who, by the way, was not worth any amount of Keegan and Adria's time and energy. I don't know what either of them saw in him. He was a quick way for the author to establish a basis for Adria and Keegan's more human rivalry before their goddess rivalry added fuel to the fire.

I don't know that this was necessarily bad, but it definitely could have been better. The story and characters just left me cold.

Earth, Air, Fire, Water: Tales from the Eternal Archives #2
Earth, Air, Fire, Water (Tales from the Eternal Archives, #2) - Jane Lindskold,Linda P. Baker,Tanya Huff,Margaret Weis,Carrie Channell,Edward Carmien,Mark Garland,Nancy Varian Berberick,Robyn McGrew,Janet Pack,Jean-Francois Podevin,Bruce Holland Rogers,Nina Kiriki Hoffman,Donald J. Bingle,Kristine Kathryn Rusch,Lawren

The short story anthology Earth, Air, Fire, Water edited by Margaret Weis, the second and last collection of the Tales from the Eternal Archives, contains thirteen stories of varying quality loosely connected to one another through the titular mystical library.  But unlike the first collection all thirteen stories were all fantasy genre.

 

The best story of the collection was “Strange Creatures” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, which followed Chief Dan Retsler investigating the latest in a series of animal mutilations but suddenly finds out that the latest animal might be linked to mythical “selkies”.  The next two best stories were “How Golf Shaped Scotland” by Bruce Holland Rogers, a fun and good natured short story about how a game of golf created Scotland’s iconic coastline, and “An Elemental Conversation” by Donald J. Bingle, a conversation between a Reverend and his friend during their weekly chess game about how the news of non-human intelligent life affects religion with a twist ending.

 

The two worst stories of the collection were “Water Baby” by Michelle West, which followed the life of a young woman who is emotionally connected to the ocean and how it affects her and others, and “Sons of Thunder” by Edward Carmien, in which a djinn recounts his time as a follower of Jehua and how his brother and his tribe converted to the new faith leaving him alone.  These were the two “worst” examples of six stories that were not really good even though they had interesting concept, but just bad execution ruined them.  An interesting facet was the unevenness of the number of stories for each element covered in the book, with Air only have one while Earth had five and Water had four and Fire starting off the book with three.

 

The thirteen stories that make up Earth, Air, Fire, Water were a mixed bag of quality from the excellent to downright disappoint, just like every other anthology collection that has been published.  However I will be honest in how well I rated this book given how poorly it began and ended.

Fire and Water (Carlisle Cops #1) by Andrew Grey Review
Fire and Water - Andrew Grey

Officer Red Markham knows about the ugly side of life after a car accident left him scarred and his parents dead. His job policing the streets of Carlisle, PA, only adds to the ugliness, and lately, drug overdoses have been on the rise. One afternoon, Red is dispatched to the local Y for a drowning accident involving a child. Arriving on site, he finds the boy rescued by lifeguard Terry Baumgartner. Of course, Red isn’t surprised when gorgeous Terry won’t give him and his ugly mug the time of day.

 

Overhearing one of the officer’s comments about him being shallow opens Terry’s eyes. Maybe he isn’t as kindhearted as he always thought. His friend Julie suggests he help those less fortunate by delivering food to the elderly. On his route he meets outspoken Margie, a woman who says what’s on her mind. Turns out, she’s Officer Red’s aunt.

 

Red and Terry’s worlds collide as Red tries to track the source of the drugs and protect Terry from an ex-boyfriend who won’t take no for an answer. Together they might discover a chance for more than they expected—if they can see beyond what’s on the surface.

 

Review

 

I liked the idea of this book very much.

I was interested is seeing a character who had been vain and shallow change or reveal layers.

Sadly, this book delivers those changes either off page or too rapidly. The book becomes driven by several other plot elements that are way less intersting.

Red is a great hero but the love story is pretty flat as though the sex is hot the love is too quick and feels more just like loneliness.

Not a winner for me.
