Fire is one of the most prevalent threats to archives and libraries, which store often irreplaceable items that are at risk from fire itself, but also from contamination by smoke and heat. Traditional fire extinguishing systems, which are water-based, can also cause irrevocable damage to library and archive collections. Restauration or reconstruction following a fire can take years and drain budgets.
