Trusted Water Mist Fire Suppression Systems for Safe & Efficient Protection
Fire Shield Systems’ automatic water mist fire suppression system is designed to reduce heat, dampen noxious gases and starve the fire of oxygen, it integrates water mist fire suppression systems with advanced technologies, including video flame detection systems and camera detection systems for precise and early fire detection.. Tackling the fire triangle from all sides, stopping flames from spreading and preventing reignition.
Sometimes referred to as water mist sprinkler systems, these fire suppression systems combine advanced engineering with cutting-edge technology to protect property, assets and people in high-risk environments. With the system’s rapid activation during incidents, occupants are given precious minutes to evacuate, helping prevent catastrophic losses. Flames are kept at bay until emergency services arrive, safeguarding human life
All of Fire Shield’s systems adhere to the highest UK standards for fire protection as well as US and EU standards across the waste and recycling sector, ensuring safety and compliance in sectors without dedicated local standards. Trusted by the Environment Agency, we partner with leading manufacturers to deliver tailored systems that meet your specific needs.

How Our Water Mist Systems Work

Following strict British, EU, and US standards, Fire Shield Systems’ automatic water mist fire suppression systems operate with precision, combating fires while using up to 10% less water than traditional sprinkler systems. Making them an eco-friendly and efficient solution for high-risk environments. When paired with fire detection systems, once even a small fire starts the water mist system works quickly and ensures the rapid response needed in high-risk environments.
The systems work in three key ways:
Damping Fuel
Directly dampening solid fuel stops fires from spreading, limiting damage to surrounding areas and preventing escalation.
Cooling Heat
Fine mist droplets evaporate rapidly due to their increased surface area, absorbing heat from the fire. This reduces radiant heat, containing the fire and minimising further damage.
Displacing Oxygen
By dispensing mist directly at the flame source, the system reduces oxygen levels, a vital element of combustion. This process creates steam and a localised inert environment, extinguishing the fire without harming nearby areas.
Unlike traditional sprinkler systems, these solutions combine advanced engineering with innovative design to provide reliable protection in environments where water damage must be minimised, such as Data Centres. Fire Shield Systems work with trusted manufacturers to deliver type-tested water mist fire extinguishing systems, tailored to your individual needs.
