Talk To Us About Fire Safety

Early Detection System

Fire Rover’s Early Detection System combines thermal, flame, and smoke analytics to identify fire risks before they spread, enabling rapid response and protecting high-risk environments around the clock.

Continuous Suppression System

An automated, large-scale protection solution that detects, verifies, and suppresses fires in seconds — providing constant coverage for operations that can’t afford downtime.

Self-Contained Suppression System

A compact, all-in-one system designed for standalone fire protection, ideal for targeted coverage in smaller or remote areas without existing infrastructure.

OnWatch Mobile Detection System

A flexible, camera-based monitoring system that brings real-time thermal detection and human verification anywhere it’s needed — ideal for temporary sites or expanding operations.

Mobile Suppression Unit System

Fire Rover’s fully mobile suppression system combines advanced detection, onboard agent storage, and remote operation to deliver rapid response and protection wherever the risk is.

Landfills

Open air, shifting materials, and limited infrastructure make landfills especially vulnerable to incipient fires. Fire Rover provides rapid mobile detection with 24/7 thermal monitoring and video-verified alerting — delivering protection where permanent systems can’t reach.

Marine

Sparks, welding equipment, and combustible materials are common in shipyards and other marine situations. Our Mobile Suppression System quickly delivers high-volume suppression directly to the ignition source — all while keeping your crew at a safe distance.

Metal Processing

From hot loads to lithium battery ignitions, scrapyards face unpredictable fire risks. Our hybrid approach combines mobile detection, continuous suppression, and site-specific strategies to stay ahead of threats in even the harshest environments, whether indoors or outdoors.

Wood Processing

Dust, organic material, and high heat combine to make these facilities a fire hazard. Fire Rover’s integrated detection and suppression systems provide persistent monitoring and immediate suppression to prevent deep-seated fires in bulk storage or conveyor lines.

Smarter Fire Protection For Metal Processing

Advanced Protection For
Complex Metal Fire Risks

From scrapyards to smelters, fire risks in metal processing are fast-moving and unpredictable. Hot loads, sparks from cutting and shredding, and the growing presence of lithium-ion batteries make these facilities among the most fire-prone industrial environments. Fire Rover delivers specialized detection, human verification, and rapid suppression to keep operations safe and downtime minimal.

1

Lithium-Ion
Batteries

Discarded batteries hidden in scrap can enter thermal runaway during crushing or shredding, creating explosive fire risks that spread quickly.

2

Inbound
Material Fires

Scrap often arrives smoldering or actively burning inside trucks. Without early detection, these fires can ignite piles on contact.

3

Hot Work
and Torching

Cutting torches, welders, and other hot work produce sparks and molten metal that can ignite nearby scrap or flammable materials in seconds.

4

Shredding
Residuals

Oils, fuels, and other flammable contaminants trapped in scrap ignite easily during shredding or shearing, accelerating fire growth.

5

Spontaneous
Combustion

Certain metals, residues, and contaminants can self-heat and combust without warning, making continuous monitoring essential.

6

Equipment
Fires

Cranes, loaders, and shears are constant ignition risks due to hydraulic leaks, hot engines, and electrical faults.

Outsmart Fire With Real-Time Response

Faster Detection,
Smarter Response

Fire Rover detects incipient fires before they escalate using thermal imaging, flame, and smoke analytics—then confirms threats through 24/7 live human monitoring to prevent false alarms and initiate real-time suppression.

Safer, Cleaner
Fire Protection

With remote-operated suppression, Fire Rover keeps your team out of harm’s way and reduces downtime after incidents. Our water-efficient technology uses up to 88% less water than traditional systems, minimizing mess, damage, and environmental impact.

Lower Risk,
Higher Confidence

Protect your people, assets, and reputation with a system designed to outpace fire threats and outsmart traditional suppression. Fewer disruptions, fewer claims, and complete peace of mind backed by innovation and FM Approval.

Working with clients across the country, I’ve watched Fire Rover grow from an idea into an industry leader. Our relationships are built on trust and proven results — that’s what makes this team special.

Pre-Incipient Stage

Invisible to the eye — heat buildup begins before smoke or flame

Incipient Stage

The very first visible signs of fire — often seconds from spreading

Smoldering Stage

Smoke develops as materials heat; just 30 seconds from open flame

Flame Stage

Ignition is visible and spreading; suppression is now critical

Fire Stage

Active fire growth threatens equipment, property, and safety

Major Fire Incident

Uncontrolled fire requiring full emergency response

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are fires so common in metal processing facilities?

Metal processing combines hot work, heavy equipment, and unpredictable scrap loads. Sparks, hot surfaces, and hidden batteries create conditions where fires can ignite without warning.

How does Fire Rover detect fires earlier than traditional systems?

Our systems use thermal imaging, flame detection, and smoke analytics to identify incipient fires — often before smoke or flames are visible. Every alert is verified by trained specialists to ensure rapid, accurate response.

What role do lithium-ion batteries play in scrapyard fires?

Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly common in appliances, electronics, and vehicles. When damaged during processing, they can enter thermal runaway and cause fast-spreading fires. Fire Rover identifies these risks early and suppresses them instantly.

Can Fire Rover protect heavy equipment used in metal processing?

Yes. Fire Rover monitors work zones in real time, detecting heat or sparks near cranes, loaders, and shredders. If a threat is confirmed, suppression can be directed immediately to prevent damage and protect workers.

How does Fire Rover reduce downtime for metal processors?

By catching and suppressing fires in their earliest stages, Fire Rover prevents large-scale incidents that cause costly shutdowns. Our verified detection also reduces false alarms, keeping operations running smoothly.
