OUR HISTORY

Since 1970, Electric Scientific Fire Protection has protected mission critical fire protection to areas like – equipment rooms, process equipment, data centers, telecommunications, power plants, mining, hospitals and various other commercial enterprises.

In 2022, Electric Scientific Fire Protection became part of Viking Fire Protection Group (VFPG), powered by APi Group—a multi-billion-dollar global leader in the life safety industry founded in 1926. Being part of the VFPG and APi Group family allows us to combine the strength, resources, and innovation of a national organization with the responsiveness, relationships, and personal service of a trusted local partner.

FIRE & SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEMS

Early identification of fire conditions plays a critical role in minimizing damage and disruption. Detecting an incident in its earliest stages provides more time to respond—helping prevent smoke damage, equipment loss, operational downtime, and life safety hazards.

Electric Scientific develops and implements fire and smoke detection solutions based on each facility’s layout, hazard profile, airflow dynamics, and operational needs. From conventional detection systems to very early warning and specialized technologies, we help determine the optimal combination of methods to enhance reliability, limit false alarms, and maintain code compliance.

Engineered Detection Strategies for Faster Response and Reduced Loss

Effective detection requires alignment with real-world conditions such as air movement, ceiling height, environmental contaminants, and fire load characteristics. Electric Scientific evaluates these factors to properly apply detection technologies, ensuring consistent performance across diverse facility types and operating environments.

FIRE SUPPRESSION

Fire suppression serves as a critical safeguard when an incident progresses beyond prevention and detection. Electric Scientific designs, installs, and maintains suppression systems tailored to specific hazards, operational demands, and code requirements—helping contain events before they result in significant loss.

Our team delivers a full range of suppression solutions, including clean agents, inert gases, CO₂, foam, dry chemical, water mist, and fire sprinkler systems. Each system is carefully selected and applied to ensure effective performance within the intended environment.

Engineered Suppression for Uptime, Assets, and Life Safety

Choosing the right suppression method depends on factors such as fuel type, occupancy, enclosure conditions, asset sensitivity, and allowable downtime. Electric Scientific evaluates these variables to design systems that balance performance, safety, and long-term reliability—ensuring protection when it is needed most.

EXPLOSION DETECTION

Explosion hazards exist in environments where combustible dust, gases, or vapors are handled, processed, or stored. When ignition occurs, pressure and flame can escalate within milliseconds—creating serious risks to personnel, facilities, and operations.

Electric Scientific provides engineered explosion protection systems designed to suppress, isolate, or vent events before they escalate. Our team evaluates process conditions, material properties, and facility layout to implement solutions aligned with applicable standards and industry best practices.

We support a wide range of industries—including manufacturing, energy, food processing, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and wood products—helping reduce risk while maintaining safe, compliant operations.

Effective explosion protection starts with a clear understanding of material behavior and process risk. Electric Scientific analyzes explosibility data, ignition sources, and facility conditions to design protection strategies that deliver reliable, real-world performance.

FIRE ALARM DETECTION & NOTIFICATIONS

Today’s fire alarm systems go beyond detecting smoke or heat—they initiate a rapid, coordinated response to protect occupants, property, and critical operations. At the core of each system is the fire alarm control panel, which processes signals from detection devices and immediately activates notification protocols to direct safe evacuation.

Electric Scientific delivers fully integrated fire alarm and notification systems built for performance, reliability, and code compliance. From single-site facilities to complex, multi-building environments, our solutions provide precise detection, intelligent control, and clear communication when every second counts.
