Archives hold records and documents that are often unique and impossible to replace, which makes protecting them from fire a particular responsibility. Once lost, archived material is gone for good, so the priority is to prevent damage entirely. MEP Fire provides fire suppression, detection and specialist advice for archives, focused on safeguarding irreplaceable collections.
The contents of an archive are its greatest vulnerability. Records, documents and stored collections are highly sensitive to fire, and their value is frequently historic or legal rather than simply financial, meaning any loss is permanent. Because the material cannot be recovered once damaged, the emphasis falls on early warning and protecting the contents before harm is done.
MEP Fire understands that with archives the goal is to protect irreplaceable material, so we start by understanding exactly what is being stored and how. We provide fire suppression and detection appropriate to the sensitivity of the contents, and offer specialist advice to help you make the right decisions. The result is protection designed around preserving what cannot be replaced.
