FirePro UK provides LPCB certified condensed aerosol fire suppression for critical-risk facilities across Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and the wider Midlands and North.
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.
Chesterfield sits at the heart of the M1 corridor between Sheffield and Nottingham, one of the UK's most significant manufacturing and logistics spines. Manufacturing accounts for approximately 20% of employment across the Sheffield City Region, nearly double the national average, and the industrial profile around Chesterfield reflects that concentration directly.
Markham Vale is Derbyshire's flagship 200-acre regeneration scheme, served by its own dedicated M1 junction at J29a, five miles east of Chesterfield town centre. It is home to over 70 businesses including Bilstein Group, Great Bear, Smurfit Westrock, Sterigenics, Marston's, and Euro Garages, with further expansion phases adding up to 732,000 square feet of additional logistics and manufacturing space.
Sterigenics operates industrial sterilisation equipment at Markham Vale with critical power infrastructure that carries significant fire risk. The packaging, logistics, and automotive parts operations across the estate share the same profile: diesel generators, HV/LV electrical distribution, battery backup systems, and process plant.
Markham Vale Enterprise Zone sits within one of the UK's largest enterprise zones in the Sheffield City Region, attracting continued inward investment from advanced manufacturing and logistics operators. Dunston Innovation Centre and Tapton Park Innovation Centre add technology and engineering businesses to Chesterfield's base, alongside established industrial areas at Sheepbridge, Staveley, and Whittington.
The broader Derbyshire region adds further context. Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, JCB Power Systems, and Rolls-Royce operations in neighbouring Derby underline the advanced manufacturing heritage of the area. The Nuclear AMRC Midlands and growing clean energy sector bring additional relevance to FirePro's power generation sector applications.
A standard fire alarm detects and alerts. It does not suppress the fire at source. For the facilities found across Chesterfield and Markham Vale, that gap represents a real and unaddressed risk. FirePro UK provides the automatic, LPCB certified suppression these environments 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.
FirePro is the only condensed aerosol fire suppression technology to hold LPCB product certification in the UK, independently tested and certified to BS EN 15276.
LPCB certification is the standard recognised by insurers, loss adjusters, and building control surveyors. For specifiers working within procurement frameworks or insurance requirements, it is frequently a prerequisite rather than an optional consideration.
No cylinders or pipework. FirePro generators are self-contained, wall-mounted units. In active manufacturing and logistics environments, installation requires no production shutdown, no structural alteration, and no disruption to live services.
No pressurised agents. Conventional gas suppression systems require pressurised cylinders with regular pressure checks and significant replacement costs. FirePro units carry a 10-year service life with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements.
Automatic activation. The system activates within seconds of receiving a detection signal. There is no manual trigger and no reliance on occupant response, which is critical in unmanned plant rooms and partially staffed logistics facilities.
Low environmental impact. FirePro's aerosol agent carries no ozone depletion potential and a near-zero global warming potential. This supports the environmental and sustainability reporting requirements of Chesterfield's manufacturing and logistics operators.
FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor, ISO 9001 certified by BSI, and an active member of the FIA, ECA, AMPS, and FPA.
Logistics and manufacturing facilities with diesel generators, battery backup systems, HV/LV electrical distribution, and process machinery benefit significantly from automatic suppression beyond a standard alarm or extinguisher. Chesterfield's growing occupier base, including logistics operators, packaging manufacturers, and engineering firms, all carry this type of critical fire risk. FirePro's condensed aerosol systems require no cylinders or pipework, making them straightforward to install in occupied industrial environments.
Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and the wider Midlands and North. 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, and FirePro generators have a 10-year service life.
Passive fire protection uses structural measures such as compartmentation, fire doors, and intumescent coatings to contain the spread of fire within a building. Active fire protection systems respond dynamically to a fire event, detecting and suppressing it automatically. FirePro is an active suppression system that works alongside passive measures to protect specific high-risk assets that structural measures alone cannot address.
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.
