A SHARED TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
One of the first fire trucks built in the late 1800's was equipped
with an A-C Fire Pump.
For over 80 years, A-C Fire Pump Systems has been on the forefront
in developing, designing and custom-building a wide range of
fire pump systems including prefabricated packages and house
units that meet every fire protection need.
Also, these packages may play a key role in saving lives and preventing further to house insurance covered establishments and even those that are not.
A-C Fire Pump is not only rich in history, but on the cutting
edge of new technology as demonstrated with our contribution
to the fire protection systems for launch pads 39A and 39B for
NASA at the Kennedy Space Center.
A-C Fire Pump Systems furnished a package of four 12x8x22 9100
series horizontal splitcase pumps driven by huge 1065 horsepower
diesel engines including state-of-the-art control systems.
Each pump is rated at 3,500 gallons per minute at 250 psi pressure.
We will continue to be the leader in the fire protection industry
providing both excellent service and superior products for years
to come.
You can always count on A-C Fire Pump Systems to solve your
pumping problems.
