Projects for fixed fire extinguishing equipment represent professional solutions for automatic fire extinguishing in buildings with high protection requirements.
Fixed fire extinguishing equipment are systems designed for automatic fire detection and extinguishing in protected areas without the need for operator intervention. They are permanently installed fire protection equipment designed to automatically or remotely activate extinguishing using a suitable extinguishing agent in the event of a fire. Fixed fire extinguishing systems are usually part of modern fire protection systems in buildings

- high risk of fire,
- restricted access for firefighters,
- in buildings where a fire could cause significant material damage
Most common uses
Server rooms and data centers
Electronic devices are sensitive to any contact with water. Gas or aerosol fire extinguishers can effectively extinguish fires without damaging equipment or data.
Engine rooms and technical rooms
Engine and technology rooms are common places for fires to start due to overload, short circuits or mechanical damage. The fire alarm system ensures rapid intervention even in hard-to-reach places.
Production lines and technological equipment
In industrial facilities where high-temperature processes or open flames are present, fire suppression systems minimize the risk of production interruptions and reduce damage.
Warehouses storing flammable substances.
When storing flammable materials (e.g., plastics, chemicals, wood), rapid automatic extinguishing is essential to prevent the spread of fire and explosion.
Gastronomic facilities
Kitchens in restaurants and soup kitchens are a common place for fires to start – especially when cooking with oil and fat. Fire extinguishers with foam or powder extinguishing agents will protect both the kitchen and staff.
Tunnels and underground structures
In tunnels and enclosed spaces, fire extinguishers are often the only effective way to control a fire before the arrival of emergency services.
Banks, archives and museums
A space where sensitive documents, artworks, or historical exhibits are stored requires systems with minimal impact.
Hospitals and laboratories
The protection of medical equipment and the safe evacuation of patients require automated and reliable fire suppression solutions that do not disrupt operations.
Advantages of Using FFSS (Fixed Fire Suppression Systems):
Automatic protection without the need for operator intervention
Rapid response and damage minimization
Protection of property, technology, and human lives
Reduced insurance costs
Enhanced safety level in compliance with current legislation
Certification potential for demanding industries (pharmaceuticals, IT, energy)
A fixed fire extinguishing system (SHZ) is an automated fire protection system designed for early detection and automatic extinguishing of fires without the need for manual intervention. It is a permanently installed system that activates either automatically or remotely based on an assessment of fire risk. Depending on the environment, SHZ systems use different extinguishing agents – water, foam, gas, mist, or aerosols, enabling efficient and gentle fire suppression even in technologically sensitive or enclosed areas.
SHZ systems are designed to ensure reliable, fast, and targeted extinguishing, while minimizing damage to property, technology, and human health.
Fixed fire extinguishing systems (SHZ) are used in buildings and spaces with a high fire risk or demanding requirements for the protection of technology, people, or property.
These most commonly include:
server rooms and data centers,
engine rooms and technical areas,
production lines and technological equipment,
storage of flammable or chemical substances,
gastronomy – restaurant and catering kitchens,
tunnels and underground structures,
banks, archives, museums,
hospitals and laboratories.
These areas require automated, fast, and reliable extinguishing, often using specialized extinguishing agents that minimize secondary damage (e.g., to electronics or artworks).
Fixed fire extinguishing systems (SHZ) use different extinguishing agents depending on the type of space, fire risk, and sensitivity of the protected technologies.
The most commonly used are:
Water – in standard areas with common fire risks,
Water mist – where secondary damage needs to be minimized (e.g., archives, medical facilities, data centers),
Foam – suitable for flammable liquid fires (e.g., kitchens, fuel storage),
CO₂ (carbon dioxide) – for technical spaces without human presence,
Inert gases (e.g., FM-200, Novec 1230) – for server rooms, archives, data centers,
Powder – primarily in technical operations and warehouses.
The choice of extinguishing agent is always determined by a professional SHZ design in accordance with applicable standards and the specific requirements of the building.
Yes, the installation of a fixed fire extinguishing system (SHZ) is mandatory in buildings where it is required based on the nature of the fire risk, the purpose of the building, or as specified in the fire safety documentation of the building (PBS). This obligation arises from Act No. 314/2001 Coll. on Fire Protection, which defines the technical requirements for ensuring the fire safety of buildings.
SHZ installation is primarily required in facilities with high fire risk, limited access for firefighting intervention, or a high value of protected assets.
Inspection and servicing of SHZ are performed at regular intervals according to Decree No. 169/2006 on SHZ and in accordance with valid legislation and technical standards. It includes:
Visual inspection of the system, pipes, nozzles, and control elements,
Functional tests of detection and activation mechanisms,
Pressure testing of tanks and piping (if gas or pressurized water is used),
Leak and tightness checks,
Replacement or refilling of extinguishing agents,
Updating the log of system maintenance and performance.
Servicing may only be performed by a professionally qualified company with proper authorization. Regular inspection is key to ensuring the system works reliably in case of a fire.
