A-C Fire Pump Systems andProfessional Fire Protection...

A Shared Tradition of ExcellenceOne 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. 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.

One of the first built firetrucks in the late 1800’s wasequipped with an A-C Fire pump.

To protect the spaceshuttle launch facilities,NASA installed a fail-safefire suppression systemutilizing A-C Fire pumps.
