FirePro UK provides LPCB certified condensed aerosol fire suppression for critical-risk facilities across Carlisle, Cumbria, and the North of England.
No cylinders, no pipework, no pressurised agents. Where a standard alarm detects, FirePro automatically suppresses at source, protecting the plant and equipment that cannot afford to fail.
Carlisle is England's most northerly city and the capital of Cumberland. Positioned at the junction of the M6, the West Coast Main Line, the A69, and the A595, it serves as a key distribution and manufacturing node between England and Scotland.
Manufacturing accounts for 10.3% of Carlisle's working population, significantly above the national average, with around 240 registered manufacturing businesses across the district. The city's industrial profile is specific and substantial.
Pirelli Tyres operates one of its major UK manufacturing plants in Carlisle, producing rubber and plastics products at scale across a site with significant electrical infrastructure, plant rooms, and process machinery. Nestlé operates a large food manufacturing facility in nearby Dalston, with diesel generators, electrical distribution, and processing plant across the site.
Pladis (McVitie's) and Cavaghan and Gray (2 Sisters Food Group) add further food manufacturing operations to the Carlisle area. Crown Packaging brings metal packaging and industrial electrical infrastructure. BSW Timber operates a large sawmill with wood processing, dust handling, and associated power plant. Cumberland Infirmary, currently expanding with a new Heart Centre and Cancer Centre, represents the healthcare sector with mission-critical power and electrical infrastructure requirements.
Carlisle also has a deep logistics heritage as a major distribution hub on the M6 corridor, with large warehousing, fleet, and distribution operations across the city. The broader Cumbrian hinterland connects westward to Sellafield and the nuclear and energy complex, making the region highly relevant to FirePro's power generation sector applications.
These are environments with real, specific fire risk. Diesel generators, HV/LV electrical distribution rooms, process plant, and UPS systems all carry a category of fire risk that a standard alarm cannot address. FirePro UK provides the automatic, LPCB certified suppression that these facilities require.
Today’s modern landscape holds a myriad of fire risk challenges that demand fresh thinking, innovative solutions for a safer, greener future.
From sub stations, transformers, HV/LV, electrical distribution, and risers. FirePro swiftly suppresses fire, minimising critical equipment damage
In the era of remote sites, FirePro's versatile and easy-to-install systems offer effective fire protection without compromising efficiency.
The significant rise in imported bulk li-ion energy storage facilities from overseas may also mean a significant increase in fire risk, especially when poorly engineered. Why compromise, FirePro has the answer.
Whether on land, marine or offshore, FirePro ensures fail safe, resilient fire protection for many types of power generation, plant, machinery, even ATEX environments.
For specifiers, engineers, and facilities managers across Carlisle's manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare base, these are the most relevant applications.
Diesel generators: Backup generators are among the highest fire-risk assets on any manufacturing or logistics site. FirePro activates automatically on detection, protecting the generator enclosure without water, pipework, or manual intervention.
HV/LV electrical distribution rooms: Arc flash and insulation failure are common causes of electrical plant fires in industrial environments. FirePro floods the protected space within seconds, suppressing the fire before it reaches adjacent infrastructure.
Process plant and machinery enclosures: Manufacturing facilities housing rubber, plastics, food processing, and packaging machinery carry significant fire risk from electrical faults, friction, and hydraulic systems. FirePro generators can be installed within or adjacent to machinery enclosures, providing automatic suppression at the point of risk.
UPS and battery energy storage: UPS systems and battery installations present fire risks that water-based systems cannot safely address. FirePro's dry aerosol suppression is the correct technology for these environments, activating automatically without damaging surrounding equipment.
Power transformers: Transformer enclosures carrying significant electrical load require suppression that activates without water or gas discharge. FirePro provides rapid, contained suppression with no secondary damage to surroundings.
Manufacturing sites including rubber and plastics processing, food production, metal packaging, and timber operations are among the highest-risk environments for fire. Facilities with diesel generators, high-voltage electrical distribution, process plant, and production machinery benefit significantly from automatic suppression at source. FirePro's condensed aerosol systems activate without water or pressurised cylinders, making them well suited to occupied manufacturing environments across Carlisle and the wider Cumbria region.
Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across Carlisle, Cumbria, and the North of England. Our team is available to provide specification support, technical guidance, and commissioning assistance on any project in the region.
Condensed aerosol suppression uses a solid compound stored within a compact, wall-mounted generator. On activation, it converts to a fine aerosol of potassium-based particles that interrupt the combustion chain within the protected space. No cylinders, pipework, or pressurised agents are required. FirePro generators activate automatically on a detection signal and have a 10-year service life.
FirePro is designed for enclosed spaces containing critical fire risk, typically where an electrical or mechanical plant is present. Common applications include diesel generator enclosures, HV/LV electrical distribution rooms, UPS and battery storage installations, machinery enclosures, power transformers, and server rooms. It is particularly well suited to industrial, manufacturing, energy, and healthcare environments where water-based or gas suppression systems are impractical or would cause unacceptable secondary damage.
A fire alarm detects smoke or heat and signals occupants to evacuate. It does not suppress the fire. An automatic suppression system activates on detection and discharges a suppression agent directly into the protected space, extinguishing or controlling the fire at source before it spreads or causes catastrophic damage to critical plant and equipment.
