Firefighter Air Replenishment Systems (FARS)

FARS_350x263 (1).jpgAt Northstar, we can provide the latest in Firefighter Air Replenishment Systems (FARS), an innovative technology that helps provide clean, breathable air to firefighters in the event of an emergency. 

FARS essentially functions the same way as a standpipe for water does, but instead for air. Our team installs a permanent standpipe that can safely deliver a constant stream of air throughout high-rise buildings, large horizontal structures, or tunnels. This allows firefighting teams to efficiently refill air tanks, helping save them time and limit their exposure to carcinogens.
