Guardian SSI to Exhibit at Florida Fire Equipment Distributors Association

Dallas based Guardian Safety Solutions International Inc. (GSSI) (http://www.guardianssi.com), the leader in the development and manufacturing of residential range top fire protection systems, will exhibit at the Florida Fire Equipment Distributors Association (FFEDA) Annual Conference and Trade Show at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami, June 8 – 10. The FFEDA is a non-profit trade association consists of Florida’s fire equipment companies and manufacturers from throughout the United States.

“We are excited to demonstrate our ‘Guardian Solution,’ or range top suppression system that protects against a range top fire before it strikes,” said Paul Rouse, Guardian SSI’s administrative officer. “Homeowners and facilities such as nursing homes, senior residences, college dorms, and hotel or motels can rest at ease knowing that potential cooking fires stand no chance in a kitchen protected by Guardian.” He added that kitchens can be retrofitted as well. GSSI manufactures the Guardian III Model G300B, UL and ULC listed with a fuel shut-off.

The Guardian is designed to detect and extinguish cooking fires and prevents re-ignition. Once it detects heat at a pre-determined temperature, a signal is sent to release an extinguishing agent that suppresses the fire. Guardian will also shut off the gas or electric supply to the stove in order to prevent reigniting. The design of the system offers:

  • automatic operation
  • continuous 24-hour protection
  • concealed installation
  • easy clean-up
  • proven reliability
