Fire Dampers

Fire dampers are safety devices installed within heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork. When a fire occurs, the damper's fire-sensitive element melts or activates, causing the damper to close automatically. This creates a barrier that helps contain the fire to one area, protecting other parts of the building and allowing safe evacuation and firefighting efforts. Fire dampers are essential components in building safety systems, ensuring that fire and smoke don't travel quickly through ventilation shafts, thereby reducing overall damage and risk.
