Announces New Fire Suppression Product Fort Worth, TX—September 1, 2006--Williams-Pyro, Inc. is pleased to announce the newest product in our fire suppression family: StoveTop FireStop Microhood™. StoveTop FireStop Microhood contains the same scientifically formulated fire suppressing powder as the original StoveTop FireStop®, America’s leading automatic stovetop fire suppressor for over thirty years. However, this new product is specifically designed to put out small stovetop grease fires with microhoods (microwaves) overhead. The StoveTop FireStop Microhood was created in response to the requests of property management companies. The increasing installment of microhoods over stovetops has created a demand for an affordable fire suppression product designed to suppress stovetop grease fires from a microhood distance, which is closer to the range top than traditional vent hoods. This new product has the capabilities of satisfying the needs of this growing trend.  Stovetop fires are the number one cause of home fires and a leading cause of fire-related deaths and injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). A 2005 NFPA study shows that a residential fire occurs every 77 seconds in the U.S., with approximately 301,500 fires occurring in one-and two-family dwellings and over 94,000 fires occurring in apartments each year. The dollar value of damage caused by residential kitchen fires in the U.S. exceeds $500 million every year. Available from Swift Fire Protection 706-283-8459
