Design, installation and servicing of fire suppression systems.
Whether your business premises is a small office, a large industrial warehouse, school or listed building you can trust Midland Fire to provide a cost effective fire suppression system.
We cover all industrial, commercial and public sectors. Services are available throughout the UK.
JacTone PAFSS (Pneumatically Actuated Fire Suppression Systems) are innovative self-activating systems designed for rapid detection and extinguishing of fires in enclosed spaces.
Utilising a pre-engineered, flexible detection tube, they provide reliable and efficient protection for critical assets, as well as slowing the spread of a localised fire to allow for the safe evacuation of staff and visitors. The systems require no human intervention or electrical power, making them ideal for unmanned or unsupervised applications.
PAFSS is available in two different systems – direct and indirect. The direct system both detects and discharges via detection tubing, whereas the indirect system detects fire via detection tubing but discharges via pipework and nozzles. Midland Fire is an authorised and registered installer of both direct and indirect systems.
I already have fire extinguishers, why do I need automatic fire suppression?
PAFSS systems detect and put out fires at the source, suppressing them quicker than a person could, more effectively preventing fire from spreading. The system is fully automated, meaning staff can evacuate the area safe in the knowledge that the fire will be extinguished, and they won’t waste time attempting to extinguish it themselves.
The system also helps avoid injury to personnel. 99% of staff will have never used a manual fire extinguisher previously, meaning they may operate it incorrectly resulting in harm and injury, either from the device or the fire itself.

Where is PAFSS used?
Automatic fire suppression systems can be found installed anywhere from public transport to industrial warehouses. Applications include:
Electrical enclosures
Small enclosures such as CNC machines and servers are commonly found in factories and warehouses. They can be affected by faults or wiring damage, increasing the risk of fire. Pressurised detection cubes are installed on the outside of enclosures, with tubing on the inside. In the event of a fire, the tube bursts releasing an extinguishing agent directly onto the fire through the point of burst.
Material storage
Areas such as fume cupboards pose a high fire risk due to their semi-enclosed nature and the wide range of chemicals present. Detection tubing is installed inside the cupboards, along with nozzles to discharge the appropriate extinguishing agent. Pressure gauges monitor system pressure, trigger agent release and sound the alarm.
Kitchens
Food and drink premises are one of the most high-risk work settings. Tubing is installed throughout the space to allow for an unlimited number of fire detection points and nozzles are positioned above kitchen appliances. In the event of a fire, a pressure switch shuts down the gas and electric supply to the appliances. A manual actuator is also installed to allow staff to discharge the system prior to automatic actuation.
Workshops and Welding Benches
Areas such as welding benches can have fire suppression systems added to extinguish a fire. This could be foam, water or gas depending on the work conducted at the work bench.
