The combination of climate change and vast forest destruction by the “pine beetle” leaves experts
to believe British Columbia and Alberta residents will continue to be at “high risk” from grass and
forest fires.   This fact also applies to other areas in the United States.
Forest Services have been quoted as saying: “If you live in or near a forested region, sooner or
later you may have to contend with the spread of a wildfire.”   Many rural residents continue to lack
access to “timely” fire protection or resources to establish adequate systems.
On average over 2,500 wildfires are started each year in British Columbia by careless human
actions or natural sources.   In 2009, British Columbia recorded more than 3,000 fires with direct
firefighting costs reaching $403,000,000 not to mention the millions in damage or loss to personal
property.   

MEC Systems Inc. (Canada) the leader in high pressure misting systems since 1979 decided to
combine their years of research and development in producing an affordable “front line” system
that will dramatically reduce fire risk to both rural and urban homes located in “high risk” areas.   
Forest fires can spread up to 5.5 kilometers per hour leaving a small window of opportunity for
homeowners to receive immediate protection, and in many cases must hopelessly evacuate.   
As one firefighter was quoted as saying:
“residents need a faster and reliable line of defense.”   
NEW FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
FOR “HIGH RISK” AREAS OF
BRITISH COLUMBIA & ALBERTA
The X5 PROTECTOR, domestic fire suppression system is currently being introduced to residents
of Western Canada.  Installed and extensively tested the X5 PROTECTOR system will give
homeowners the peace of mind and confidence their home and cherished possessions are
protected in the event of a grass or forest fire.
MEC Systems Inc. offers three individual packages which are custom designed for each application
providing immediate protection to homeowners.    The X5 PROTECTOR is a sprinkler system
designed to give complete coverage to the roof and outer walls of a home.   The system, easily
activated by the homeowner, provides a proven arc of protection using existing water supply or by
switching to an optional independent water storage system.   Package options also include “remote
startup” and can be easily accessed by local fire departments.
In recent tests by government and university researchers, water application from sprinklers
reduced the combustibility of structure fuels and reduced the fire intensity in natural fuels
immediately adjacent to buildings.   Sprinkler systems were proven to work under extreme fire
conditions providing water supply continues up to and during the time of fire passage.   The tests
concluded that property owners can dramatically improve their structures survival by installing an
effective outside sprinkler system

The X5 PROTECTOR system provides just that, a permanently installed system protected against
extreme conditions and ready to meet you’re “all year round “ outside fire protection needs.  
Note: X5 is a code used by many fire departments throughout the world to define “extreme
firefighting”
The speed and intensity of fires demand immediate reaction. X5 Protector
can be your first line of attack and improving property survival.
