Making communities safer
Firefighter Air Replenishment Systems (FARS) has been around for more than a decade, but, like any emerging innovation, it’s only now beginning to be widely known – and even required in select fire protection systems. If FARS isn’t already required in your area, it may be soon, so you should have an understanding of FARS and its purpose and uses. As the leading contractor in the Pacific Northwest, UMC can help you understand FARS, and how it applies to your complete fire protection system.

Requirements and components
FARS is meant to be adaptable to a variety of building configurations but will include the same basic requirements and components. We see immense opportunity for FARS in high-rise facilities, but the need spans far beyond metropolitan areas, including large underground structures, tunnels, and other horizontal structures where the transportation and supply of air cylinders can be problematic.
