“Automatic smoke
vents allow for the
removal of heat and
smoke and potentially
slow the spread of fire.
They will also permit
firefighters to see and
enter the building to
possibly extinguish
the fire early,
preventing the entire
building from
becoming a loss.”
-Steve Martin,
Battalion Chief for the
Columbus Fire
Department.

“Automatic smoke
vents are the most
economical way to add
fire venting protection
in large single-story
buildings, and are
ideal for auditoriums,
warehouses, and
manufacturing
facilities.
-Breck Simonsson,
project manager for
