In response to poultry house fires, Poultry Management System, Inc. (PMSI) has developed ThERM fire detection and response technology displayed at the 2022 Midwest Poultry Federation Trade Show.  The system continuously monitors a poultry house for smoke and particles released by a fire.  A module filters air drawn through a fenestrated pipe located along the length of the house or compartment and a laser detector responds to the presence of smoke particles activating alerts and alarms.  ThERM is compatible with existing fire and emergency notification systems and will relay alarms to farm management and first responders. 

ThERM will restrict the spread of fire by overriding ventilation panels to shut down fans. In conventional ventilation installations fans are usually activated by an increase in temperature accelerating the progression of a fire.  ThERM functions 24/7 to detect flame, heat, smoke, or gas release registered as thermal events.
