Ruhrpumpen participation in fire events globally. 

From October 16 to 19, Ruhrpumpen participated in the American Fire Sprinkler Association convention & Exhibition held at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. AFSA is a nonprofit, international association representing merit shop fire sprinkler contractors, dedicated to the educational advancement of its members and promotion of the use of automatic fire sprinkler systems.

During this event we had the opportunity to learn form industry experts, connect with customers and learn what’s to come in the fire sprinklers industry. 

This year’s event received over 1,200 attendees and more than 350 organizations!

We want to congratulate AFSA for a wonderful event planning and execution

We would also like to take the opportunity to thank all our customers, potential customers, and business partners for visiting our booth and for making our participation a success!

Also, we were at the Expo Fire India 2022 where we met potential customers and presented our most advanced fire-fighting systems.

It was an opportunity to learn about new market trends and bring together the experts at the largest exhibition in Asia of this kind. 

Ruhrpumpen Systems recently supplied a complete fire pump package to be installed at a paper recycling and manufacturing plant located in northern Mexico.

The equipment consists of one ZW 8x6x19.5(F) pump powered by an electric driver, one ZW 10x6x12(F) pump powered by a diesel engine and a Vertical Multi-Stage Centrifugal Jockey Pump.

Holiday-related fires blamed for over $300 million in property damage in the US; NFPA urges caution

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urges the public to be extra cautious this holiday season to prevent house fires.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are among the leading days of the year for house fires in the United States, a NFPA spokesperson informed.

“December is a leading month for home fires, in large part because many of the activities we engage in during the holiday season reflect leading causes of home fires year-round,” NFPA Vice President of Outreach and Advocacy Lorraine Carli said.

“Plus, as colder temperatures impact much of the country, use of heating equipment increases significantly,” Carli continued.

Christmas Trees were one of the main sources of house fires.

An estimated average of 160 house fires involving Christmas trees caused two civilian deaths and $12 million in property damage per year between 2016 and 2020, the spokesperson said.

Of those tree fires, nearly one in five were stated by decorative lights, the spokesperson said.

Cooking was the leading cause of house fires

Cooking caused a reported 49 percent of house fires and was the second-leading cause of house fire deaths, the spokesperson said.

Unattended cooking was the lead cause of these types of house fires, the spokesperson said.

“By knowing where potential fire hazards exist and taking some basic safety precautions to prevent them, people can enjoy a festive, fire-free holiday season,” said Carli.
