Firetrace Limited - Automatic Fire Suppression Systems

The Firetrace automatic detection tube should be considered as a lineal heat / flame detector. The original concept of Firetrace was developed in the late 1980’s by Dave Melton whilst running Sterling Safety – a family run business supplying and maintaining Fire Extinguishers. Firetrace’s continual growth allowed it to become a separate entity in 1996 and the umbrella company of Sterling Safety was sold in 2001. Here at Firetrace we believe that the key to successful suppression is to achieve early detection, fast targeted deployment and immediate isolation. When the temperature is increased to above 120°C or the Firetrace automatic detection tube is touched by a flame the tube bursts and initiates the diffusion of the extinguishing medium. To date, there are 41 employees covering the UK manufacturing, supplying, installing and maintaining Firetrace systems..
