Motor Racing Team Fire Safety

Fire safety within a motor racing team can be very challenging as the environment for the fire protection equipment is not only kept at an office & workshop but equipment is also moved around according to the track and schedules. Choosing the right fire safety contractor can also be tough. 

We have experience in the motor racing sector being involved in the fire safety measures with various racing teams including the championship winning Garage 59 with their head office in Brackley and their truck & pit lane fire extinguishers which go to various tracks around the world. 

Installing incorrect fire extinguishers could cost a team tens of thousands if not millions of pounds should the wrong equipment be installed.

When assessing the Garage 59 offices and workshops we had to install equipment which would be able to extinguish most types of fires but also ensure that any fire equipment we installed would not have an adverse effect on any machinery or vehicles in the immediate area if a fire was to occur. Installing incorrect fire extinguishers could cost a team tens of thousands if not millions of pounds should the wrong equipment be installed.

The motor industry including race cars are constantly changing especially with the introduction of lithium batteries assisting the engines. Due to our fantastic supplier network we have access to the latest lithium battery fire extinguishers which are available in various sizes. 

Security is a huge issue within motor racing teams especially when it comes to them choosing which contractors to use for their offices and workshops. We have absolutely no issues at all with signing and strictly adhering to the requirements of Non Disclosure Agreements. This gives our clients satisfaction that we can go about our business on site installing or servicing their fire safety equipment with the confidence that anything we see or hear relating to the team or vehicles will be not disclosed by us to anyone. 

We also hire fire extinguishers to motor racing events who require fire equipment for weekend events. When it comes to fire extinguisher hire we usually take instruction from the organising teams fire risk assessment as to what equipment is required. We have hired hundreds of fire extinguishers to the British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone over the last three years.
