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.

Innovative Fire Protection For Wood Processing Facilities

Defending Against Wood
Processing Fire Hazards

Wood processing facilities face some of the most volatile fire risks in industrial operations. Combustible dust, friction heat from equipment, spontaneous ignition in storage piles, and hot loads from fermentation can all spark fast-moving fires. Add in silo ignition, and the risks become constant and unpredictable. Fire Rover delivers early detection, human verification, and rapid suppression tailored for mills, silos, and storage yards — protecting facilities, people, and assets before small sparks become catastrophic events.

1

Combustible
Dust

Fine wood particles suspended in the air or settled on surfaces are highly explosive. Continuous monitoring is essential to prevent ignition from sparks or static discharge.

2

Spontaneous
Combustion

Large stockpiles of wood chips or biomass can self-heat deep inside the pile, creating hidden ignition sources that are difficult to detect without thermal monitoring.

3

Friction
Fires

Conveyors, grinders, and saws generate heat and sparks through friction. Without immediate suppression, these small flare-ups can escalate rapidly.

4

Hot
Loads

Decomposing organic material in compost or biomass can arrive smoldering, igniting storage piles on contact. Early thermal detection stops fires before they spread.

5

Storage
Silo Ignition

Dust accumulation and confined space hazards make silos one of the most dangerous fire risks in wood processing. Fire Rover delivers real-time monitoring and targeted suppression to contain incidents.

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 partners across the country, I’ve seen how Fire Rover’s innovation and commitment have shaped the industry. Our success comes from genuine relationships and the results we stand behind

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 wood processing facilities at such high risk for fires?

Wood dust, biomass piles, and constant friction from equipment create multiple ignition sources. These risks are often hidden or unpredictable, making early detection and rapid suppression critical for prevention.

How does Fire Rover help prevent combustible dust explosions?

Fire Rover continuously monitors facilities with thermal, flame, and smoke detection. By identifying ignition points before dust accumulates into an explosive event, the system reduces one of the biggest hazards in wood processing.

Can Fire Rover detect hidden fires inside piles or silos?

Yes. Fire Rover’s thermal imaging identifies hot spots deep within wood chip piles or silos that are invisible to the naked eye. Early detection allows suppression before smoldering fires escalate into uncontrollable events.

How does Fire Rover address fires caused by equipment friction?

Our system monitors conveyors, grinders, and saws in real time. If sparks or heat spikes are detected, human operators verify the threat and activate targeted suppression immediately, minimizing downtime and damage.

What makes Fire Rover more effective than traditional fire suppression systems in wood facilities?

Traditional systems like sprinklers often react too late and can’t reach confined spaces like silos or deep piles. Fire Rover combines 24/7 monitoring, human verification, and precise suppression to stop fires earlier and more effectively.
