Special Hazard Fire Suppression Systems

Summit Fire Protection designs, installs, inspects, tests, and maintains special hazard systems that help you minimize downtime, protect critical equipment, and support life safety and code compliance. These systems are engineered to protect high-value assets, mission-critical operations, and environments where traditional fire sprinklers alone are not enough. Our expertise includes non-water-based fire suppression.

Advanced Protection for Complex Fire Risks

Facilities with sensitive equipment, hazardous materials, or continuous operations face unique fire risks that demand more than conventional solutions. From clean agents to vehicle suppression, each special hazard system is carefully matched to the threat profile of your environment.

At Summit Fire Protection, our team works with you to identify your hazards and engineer a compliant, cost-effective suppression strategy built around your operations and risk tolerance.

"They know their stuff and will do whatever they can to get the job done as quickly and as efficiently while having high standards."

Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems

Clean agent fire suppression systems (FM-200®, Novec™, and equivalent agents) extinguish fires rapidly without water, residue, or damage to sensitive equipment. These gaseous systems absorb heat or interrupt the chemical reaction of fire. Common applications include:

Data centers and server rooms
Telecommunications facilities
Control rooms and network operations centers
Healthcare facilities and imaging suites
Financial institutions and trading floors
Archives, museums, and records storage
And more

Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Protection Systems

Our lithium-ion battery fire protection solutions address unique system hazards with early detection, targeted suppression, and post-event monitoring, all designed to meet current codes, standards, and industry best practices. We provide fire protection strategies for:

Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure
Data centers with UPS and battery backup systems
Manufacturing and warehouse battery storage
Renewable energy and microgrid installations

Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems

Our vehicle fire suppression systems automatically detect and attack fires at the source, helping protect operators, reduce equipment loss, and keep vehicles in service by quickly addressing fires in engine compartments, hydraulic systems, and other high-risk areas. These systems are commonly installed on:

Mining and quarry equipment
Construction vehicles and earthmovers
Waste and recycling trucks
Transit and shuttle buses
Forestry and off-road equipment
Industrial material-handling machinery

Industrial & High-Risk Fire Suppression Applications

Industrial facilities frequently require custom-engineered fire suppression systems to address complex hazards such as flammable liquids, combustible dust, chemical processing, and specialized manufacturing operations. We design and install special hazard fire protection systems for:
