Setting the Standard in Special Hazards Fire Protection and Capabilities

Now bigger, stronger, and more capable than ever—State Fire's Industry-Leading Special Hazards Fire Protection Department is ready to safeguard your most challenging assets. As facilities grow more complex and the cost of downtime keeps climbing, standard fire protection isn't always enough. That's exactly the gap our Special Hazards team was built to close, and today we're announcing the expanded capabilities that make it stronger than ever.

A Department Built to Match the Scale of the Risk

Special hazards environments—data centers, energy storage installations, control rooms, archives, marine vessels, aircraft hangars, oil and gas facilities, and telecom infrastructure—don't tolerate one-size-fits-all fire protection. A single incident can mean lost data, halted production, or millions in irreplaceable assets. Backed by more than 350 certified fire protection technicians serving customers across the Western United States, State Fire's Special Hazards Department brings the scale, engineering depth, and code expertise these environments demand.

Full Lifecycle Capabilities, From Concept to Long-Term Support

Design & Engineering

Every special hazards system starts with engineering, not guesswork. Our team designs and specifies clean agent, inert gas, CO2, and water mist suppression systems—integrated with detection and control systems—engineered around the specific risk profile of your space, not a generic template. Learn more about our Design & Engineering process.

Recharge & Repair

Protection doesn't end at installation. After a discharge, a system is only as good as how fast it's back online. Our expanded Recharge & Repair capabilities cover cylinder recertification, hydrostatic testing, agent recharge, and system repair—keeping your special hazards systems inspection-ready and code-compliant year-round.

Purpose-Built for Emerging Risk: BESS & Lithium-Ion

Battery energy storage systems are being deployed faster than most fire codes were written to handle. Lithium-ion thermal runaway behaves differently than a conventional fire, and it demands detection and suppression strategies designed around that reality. State Fire's Special Hazards team has built out dedicated capabilities for BESS and lithium-ion applications—helping facility owners get ahead of a risk that's only becoming more common across energy, industrial, and commercial sites.

Talk to Our Special Hazards Team

Whatever you're protecting—a data center, a BESS installation, a production floor, or a fleet of vessels—it deserves more than a standard sprinkler head. Explore our full range of capabilities and get in touch with our team to discuss a system built around your specific risk.
