Introducing the ATTENDANT™ II Fire Suppression System. The ATTENDANT II gasoline station system is on duty 24/7 to help protect your customers and your investment. And you can rest easier knowing your ATTENDANT II system was manufactured by a company that’s been in business since 1920. Designed to meet the requirements of today’s convenience centers, the ATTENDANT II system protects higher canopies and a greater number of pumping islands. In short, it offers the most up-to-date fire protection available. Together, the ATTENDANT and ATTENDANT II systems offer the flexibility to effectively protect virtually any gas station configuration.

Sparking Your Interest in Gasoline Station Fire Protection. Modern automobile fueling areas are designed with high-speed self-service pumps, enabling customers to fuel their vehicles faster than ever before. However, the same modern equipment that makes fueling quick and easy also makes the fueling area more susceptible to fire. Accidents do happen. Customers might drive away without returning the nozzle to the dispenser or use the dispensing equipment incorrectly resulting in a fuel spill. Modern high volume pumps can discharge a large quantity of flammable liquid onto the fueling area very quickly. Burning cigarettes, running engines, sparks and other heat sources could ignite flammable liquids or vapors in the fueling area.

Even in Windy Conditions, the ATTENDANT™ II System is Designed to Reach the Fire Source. Outdoor fire suppression systems face a unique problem – overcoming the effects of windy conditions.

Wind increases the intensity of a fire by feeding it oxygen. It also affects the firefighting agent discharge. Since National Weather Bureau statistics indicate that the average outdoor wind condition is nearly 10 miles per hour, wind is definitely a factor to consider when installing any outdoor fire suppression system. The ATTENDANT II system has been specifically designed and tested for windy conditions.

Invisible to Your Customers. The ATTENDANT II canopy gasoline station system is designed with function and form in mind. Cylinders are installed on top of the canopy to create a clean, finished look in the customer area. Flexible nozzle heights ranging from 7 feet to 15 feet 7 inches allow for versatility when customizing the system for your specific need. Providing Fuel Without the Fire. The ATTENDANT II canopy gasoline station system was designed specifically for the unique hazards found at an outdoor fueling area. The ATTENDANT II system quickly

suppresses the fire providing optional fuel shut-off capabilities. A select network of authorized Pyro-Chem distributors is trained in the design, installation and maintenance of the ATTENDANT II system. Components used in the system have been designed for reliability, durability and performance.
