Fresh thinking, innovative solutions, and a significantly greener approach to critical risk fire suppression. Welcome to a new era of fire safety engineering.

INTRODUCTION

Fire Suppression for Shrewsbury's Industrial, Healthcare and Heritage Sector

Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, sitting on the River Severn approximately 10 miles from the Welsh border. It carries a distinctive dual character: a substantial industrial and logistics base across its northern estates, and one of the UK's most intact medieval and Tudor heritage cores within the river loop.

Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on Mytton Oak Road is among the largest district general hospitals in the UK, serving nearly half a million people across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and mid-Wales. Mission-critical backup power infrastructure, medical electrical systems, and critical care environments define its fire suppression requirements.

The Sentinel Trade Park on Whitchurch Road - a 179,000 square foot facility recently let to the NHS for logistics and operations brings large-scale distribution infrastructure, diesel backup, and UPS systems to within 1.5 miles of the town centre. Battlefield Enterprise Park, Harlescott Industrial Estate, and Shrewsbury Business Park complete a substantial commercial and industrial footprint across the borough.

Shrewsbury's heritage core is a genuinely unique application environment. The historic town loop contains a high density of listed buildings including Shrewsbury Castle, Shrewsbury School, and numerous medieval timber-framed structures. These are buildings where conventional pressurised gas or sprinkler systems frequently cannot be installed without damaging irreplaceable fabric.

FirePro technology requires no pipework, no pressurised cylinders, and no structural alteration. The generators are compact, stainless steel, wall-mounted units. For Shrewsbury's heritage buildings, that combination is a solution that legacy suppression technologies simply cannot match.

Today's fire risk landscape demands fresh thinking. Whether the risk is a diesel generator at Harlescott, a medical electrical room at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, or an archive in a listed building in the town centre, FirePro UK has the certificated engineered solution.

Fire Safety Engineering

Navigating Modern Challenges - Sustainably

Today’s modern landscape holds a myriad of fire risk challenges that demand fresh thinking, innovative solutions for a safer, greener future.

Electrical Fire Risk

From sub stations, transformers, HV/LV, electrical distribution, and risers. FirePro swiftly suppresses fire, minimising critical equipment damage

Remote and Unmanned Facilities

In the era of remote sites, FirePro's versatile and easy-to-install systems offer effective fire protection without compromising efficiency.

Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

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.

Mission-Critical Infrastructure

Whether on land, marine or offshore, FirePro ensures fail safe, resilient fire protection for many types of power generation, plant, machinery, even ATEX environments.

Effective Fire Stopping in Shrewsbury

FirePro stands alone with LPCB product certification in the condensed aerosol category. There are no others. Independently tested and certificated to BS EN 15276, this is the standard recognised by insurers, loss adjusters, and building control surveyors across the UK.

For specifiers working across NHS frameworks, heritage consents, and industrial procurement requirements, LPCB certification is frequently a prerequisite. FirePro UK is the only condensed aerosol distributor that can satisfy it.

No cylinders. No pipework.
FirePro generators are self-contained stainless steel units. Installation across Shrewsbury's occupied hospitals, industrial buildings, and sensitive heritage sites requires no structural alteration, no disruption to live services, and no operational shutdown.

Non-pressurised.
Unlike conventional gas suppression, FirePro technology does not require pressurised cylinders, door fan integrity testing, or over-pressure venting. The compound is stored as a solid and transforms on activation.

Automatic activation.
On receiving a detection signal, the system activates within seconds. There is no manual trigger and no reliance on occupant response — critical for unmanned plant rooms and out-of-hours heritage environments alike.

Significantly lower carbon footprint.
FirePro technology carries no ozone depletion potential and a near-zero global warming potential. By comparison to traditional legacy fire suppression engineering, the environmental credentials are in a different category entirely.

FirePro UK is ISO 9001 certificated by BSI, and an active subscribing member of the FIA, ECA, AMPS, and FPA.

Can condensed aerosol fire suppression be used in listed or heritage buildings in Shrewsbury?

Yes. FirePro requires no pipework, no pressurised cylinders, and no structural alteration. The generators are compact, stainless steel, wall-mounted units that cause minimal disruption to building fabric, making FirePro a practical solution where invasive installation is prohibited or restricted.

Does FirePro UK cover Shrewsbury and Shropshire?

Yes. FirePro UK is the UK and Ireland master distributor for FirePro condensed aerosol fire suppression, supporting specifiers, designers, installers, and end users across Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and the wider Welsh Borders region.

What is condensed aerosol fire suppression and how does it work?

FirePro is a condensed aerosol fire suppression system that suppresses fire by delivering minute particles of potassium-based agent on a molecular level, interrupting the chemical chain reactions of combustion. The FPC solid compound transforms on activation into a rapidly expanding condensed aerosol. No cylinders, pipework, or pressurised agents are required.

What is the difference between active and passive fire protection?

Passive fire protection contains fire spread using structural measures such as compartmentation and fire doors. Active systems suppress fire dynamically on detection. FirePro is an active suppression system that works alongside passive measures to protect critical risks that structural measures alone cannot address.

How does automatic fire suppression differ from a conventional fire alarm?

A fire alarm detects and signals evacuation but does not suppress the fire. An automatic suppression system activates on detection and discharges fire suppression agent directly into the protected enclosure, suppressing the fire at source before it spreads or causes catastrophic damage to a critical asset.
