Special Hazards Fire Protection Solutions
A fire inside a data center, chemical plant, or aircraft hangar doesn’t just mean smoke and damage. It can shut down operations in minutes and put lives at risk. Standard sprinklers won’t cut it in these situations. In some cases, water can actually make the problem worse.
This is why special hazards protection exists. At Raptor Fire Protection, we design and install fire suppression systems made for high-risk environments. Veteran owned and serving the Greater Bay Area, our job is simple: protect your people, your property, and your business so you can keep running with confidence.
What Are Special Hazards?
Special hazards are places where water isn’t the right answer. They need tailored solutions that act fast without creating new problems. Some common examples include:
- Fuel storage and flammable liquids inside industrial facilities.
- Server rooms and telecom hubs with equipment too sensitive for water.
- Aircraft hangars and marine sites with large, open areas and unique risks.
- Chemical processing plants where even a small fire can spread instantly.
In each of these spaces, fire suppression must be quick, effective, and designed to avoid secondary damage.

Our Special Hazards Fire Protection Services
Protecting special hazard facilities means covering every angle. That starts with design and ends with ongoing maintenance.
System Design & Engineering
Every site is different, so we build suppression plans that match your layout, equipment, and risk level.
Suppression Systems We Offer
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Depending on your facility, we may recommend:
- Clean Agent Systems (FM-200, NOVEC 1230, CO₂) – safe for electronics.
- Foam Suppression – best for flammable liquids and fuel fires.
- Dry Chemical Systems – tough and versatile for heavy industry.
- Inert Gas Systems – safe for occupied rooms and delicate equipment.
Installation & Integration
Our crew installs with safety and compliance in mind, making sure the system fits smoothly with your existing fire protection setup.
Inspection, Testing & Maintenance
A system only protects you if it’s ready to fire at a moment’s notice. That’s why we handle routine inspections, tests, and maintenance so you’re never caught unprepared.
