Jim Thome and Mitch Kerns will be presenting information on ZeroBurn’s patented system on Monday, November 4th. ZeroBurn is a patented pro-active fire prevention system which  eliminates the possibility of fire by lowering the oxygen level from 21% to 14-15% with inert nitrogen.

It provides the first layer of defense and is  non-depletive, economical, and environmentally friendly.  We focus on non-occupied or intermittently occupied spaces  for: Archives, museums, data centers, storage, power rooms, telecom,  manufacturing, and other facilities to protect critical assets and avoid business down-time.

You can learn more about ZeroBurn at : www.zeroburnfps.com

ZeroBurn will also invite participants to attend a live demo at the Merriam location after the meeting  for those that would like to attend.
