EV Charging Stations
Along with the increase in Electric Vehicles (EV), comes the increase in number of EV charging station fires. EV charging poses a variety of risks which are similar to any electrical components or devices and therefore must employ effective fire suppression methods. Fires at EV charging stations can quickly pass to the vehicle being charged and other adjacent vehicles and structures. GeneFire has designed a unique system utilizing advanced aerosol technology to quickly suppress fires and prevent them from spreading.

Proactive Fire Suppression
"Concerns in the fire service about EVs and open and closed parking garages are increasing as a result of what has occurred in the United States and elsewhere in the world. These incidents involved hundreds of automobiles, injuries, severe structural damage and structure collapse. One video of an EV fire in a parking garage revealed that a significant fire that involved three vehicles developed in no more than three minutes. The fire was too large to extinguish with any portable fire extinguishers as soon as it self-vented from the vehicle of origin."
