AIRCRAFT HANGARS

Protecting Aircraft Hangars with Omniguard

Aircraft hangars house some of the world’s most valuable assets, making advanced fire detection and suppression critical. Omniguard by Firefly is designed to meet the unique challenges of these high-risk environments—protecting people, aircraft, and infrastructure when seconds matter.

Over 90%

of foam system activations in hangars are accidental.

in damages from a single foam discharge incident.

Why fire safety in hangars demands more

With commercial aircraft often valued at over $200 million—and military aircraft significantly more—reliable fire protection isn’t optional. Hangars present complex challenges: large open spaces, obstructed sightlines, exposure to external heat sources, and potential electromagnetic interference from onboard avionics.

The Omniguard solution

Omniguard´s system delivers high-performance detection and integrated suppression control. Built for demanding conditions, it ensures rapid, reliable response—minimizing risk and potential damage.

Key fire protection challenges in hangars:

Large, open areas that require broad and precise coverage
Obstructed views due to aircraft and equipment
External heat sources visible through open hangar doors
EMI from aircraft avionics interfering with standard detection systems
Fires that can cause catastrophic damage within seconds

A complete fire safety solution must:

Offer detection ranges tailored to relevant fuel types
Distinguish between real threats and false alarms (e.g., EMI or external heat)
Respond fast enough to limit or prevent damage
Integrate detection, alert, and suppression into one smart system
Provide coverage that meets your specific project and regulatory requirements
Be verified and validated during commissioning
Follow a performance-based design in line with applicable fire safety codes and standards
