THE FIRETRACE TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE
How It Works: At the core of every Firetrace system is proprietary pneumatic detection tubing. These systems have 3 different configurations that can be used with different agent types to help put out the fire. (Watch the video to learn more.)
Firetrace System Configurations
- Direct Release Systems. The Firetrace Detection Tubing nearest the hottest point of the fire ruptures, forming an effective discharge nozzle. The agent contained in the cylinder is then released in the immediate proximity of the fire. This puts out fires exactly where they start.
- Indirect Release Systems. The Firetrace Detection Tubing is used only for detection. When a fire causes the tubing to burst, a valve opens and the suppressant is discharged via a traditional distribution network and fixed nozzles. This configuration works well for larger enclosures.
- Total Room Flooding, ideal for server rooms. Total Flooding System quickly fills a room to a specific concentration with fire suppressing clean agent. When concentration is achieved, a fire will be effectively suppressed without harming people or equipment.
KEY BENEFITS
- 10x Faster Detection & Suppression – minimizing equipment damage and downtime
- 24/7 Uninterrupted Protection

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly does Firetrace respond to a fire?
A: Firetrace systems detect and suppress fires in seconds—10x faster than traditional methods—putting out fires at the source before they escalate into large-scale disasters.
Q: Does the system require electricity?
A: No. As stated across all materials, Firetrace systems require no electricity for 24/7 autonomous operation. However, they can be linked to electrical shutoff switches if needed for your application.
Q: What suppression agents are available?
A: Systems can be configured for dry chemical or clean agent suppressants depending on your specific application. Clean agents are safe for people and sensitive equipment and leave no residue.
Q: Will installation disrupt operations?
A: Firetrace systems feature flexible routing that can be installed in relatively small footprints with minimal disruption. Once installed, systems don’t interfere with daily operations or maintenance.
Q: How often does the system need service?
A: Firetrace systems are low-maintenance by design. Midwest Fire & Safety provides regular inspection and service schedules to ensure your system remains ready to protect 24/7.
