Fire Protection for Car Parks in the Electric Era
The New Risk Landscape
Electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries have fundamentally changed fire risk in car parks:
- Higher temperatures and longer burn times
- Thermal runaway and re-ignition risks
- Limited ventilation in underground structures
- Increased challenges for traditional sprinkler systems
Fire protection strategies must adapt.
Why Water Mist Works for EV Fires
FM Approved low-pressure water mist systems provide:
- Rapid cooling and heat absorption
- Oxygen displacement with minimal water usage
- Reduced collateral damage
- Compact installation for low ceilings and retrofits
A certified and efficient alternative to traditional sprinklers for modern car parks.
A technical guide for engineers and designers on protecting underground and urban car parks using FM Approved low-pressure water mist systems.
FM Approval & Compliance
Why FM Approval Matters
FM Approved systems are tested and validated for real-world fire scenarios and recognized by insurers and authorities worldwide.
For car parks, this means safer designs, smoother approvals, and future-ready infrastructure.
