Cultural Heritage

Fire poses one of the biggest threats to the world’s heritage buildings, artifacts and other priceless items and unfortunately damage from fire is usually catastrophic; heritage monuments and objects once destroyed, can never be restored. Culturally significant historical buildings, museums, libraries, churches, temples lost to fires, share a common factor: The lack of an automatic fire suppression system.

The wrong selection of a fire suppression system or agent can be as damaging as fire itself. Water or chemical damage can add millions in restoration costs and in some cases damage the items they are intended to protect. At FirePro we work closely with consultants and leading agencies to design and develop fire suppression systems that are friendly to the environment, people and priceless property.

FirePro systems’ means of fire suppression are electrically non-conductive and highly efficient. Their desirability is enhanced in cases where agents such as water, dry chemicals and carbon dioxide are not permitted because they present a safety risk to people and collateral damage to property. FirePro systems are widely used around the world in museums, historical sites, libraries and archives.
