Especially in high-bay warehouses, fires quickly become uncontrollable once they break out. They develop upwards and hot combustion gases can heat the goods stored in the higher shelving areas in such a way that they quickly
go up in flames up to the warehouse ceiling. A fire in a high-bay warehouse can therefore only be effectively fought in the early stages. In most cases, high-bay warehouses are sprinkled, which often makes the installation of cost-intensive
fire-fighting water retention tanks unavoidable and can lead to considerable consequential fire damage to the stored goods and the building. The market forces have a ruthless effect at companies that have not provided sufficient fire protection
and it is difficult to regain lost market share. With inerting systems for active fire prevention, however, a fire protection solution is available that prevents fires from occurring.
