The Fire.
Protect Healthcare and Hospitals

Reliable fire protction for hospitals and critical medical environments

Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on uninterrupted operation of medical equipment, IT infrastructure, and support systems.

Fire in areas like MRI rooms, server rooms or control rooms can have devastating consequences — not just for the facility, but for patients.

Fire Eater delivers automatic fire suppression systems tailored to healthcare environments where safety, uptime and non-destructive suppression are essential.

Inergen extinguishes fires within 40 seconds and prevents re-ignition. It is made from 100% natural gases and is completely safe for people, equipment, and the environment.

Why choose inergen for healthcare and hospitals?

Extinguish fires in 40 seconds – using 100% natural gases

  • Protect vital equipment

     

    Inergen is ideal for protecting highly sensitive areas such as MRI rooms, server rooms, and technical control rooms. It extinguishes fires quickly and cleanly — without water, chemicals or residue. As a clean agent fire suppression system, Inergen is non-conductive and leaves no damage, making it especially suitable for fire protection in MRI rooms and other sensitive environments.

  • Inergen is composed of gases naturally found in the atmosphere, making it safe for people to be present during and after discharge. This is critical in hospital environments where evacuation may not always be possible. Quick fire suppression also limits the spread of smoke and toxic gases that can endanger patients and staff.

     

    Protect human life

  • Protect our environment

     

    Unlike traditional fire sprinkler systems or water mist fire protection, Inergen uses no water or harmful chemicals. It offers gaseous fire suppression that is effective, residue-free, and environmentally friendly — helping hospitals meet sustainability goals.

Fire protection for scanner rooms
 – tailored solutions for hospitals

We offer customised fire suppression solutions for scanner rooms in hospitals, including CT, PET, and MRI scanners. Each scanner type presents unique requirements, especially MRI scanners that must remain unaffected by external interference.

Inergen provides reliable protection for both the scanner room and the associated technical room, where critical infrastructure such as power supply, cooling systems, and computers is located.

Customized installation for advanced environments

Every scanner room is different – and so is our approach.

CT and PET scanner rooms
For CT and PET scanners, pipework is typically installed above suspended ceilings, with nozzles
discreetly placed to ensure full room coverage without affecting daily operations.

MRI scanner rooms – built for magnetic safety
MRI scanners require non-magnetic, interference-free installations. Fire Eater has developed
specialised solutions to meet these strict requirements:

Wooden enclosures with copper mesh shield the scanner from magnetic disturbance.

Wave-guard conduits provided by the MRI contractor guide nozzles safely into the room, using 3D-printed plastic fittings to ensure a perfect, magnet-safe fit.

Where inergen is a natural fit


Inergen® is especially well-suited for protecting sensitive and mission- critical areas in hospitals and clinics, including:

  • Scanner rooms including MRI, PET and CT.

  • Server rooms and data centres

  • Control rooms and monitoring stations

  • Technical utility rooms

  • Pharmacy storage and laboratory areas

Inergen® – How it works

If a fire occurs, the Inergen system is activated automatically and typically extinguishes the fire within 40 seconds and at the same time prevents re-ignition.

The fire is extinguished by Inergen lowering the oxygen level in the protected area. The low oxygen level suffocates the fire before it develops.
