Fire Prevention for Automated and High-Bay Warehouses
Protect large-scale storage facilities with FirePASS® oxygen reduction fire prevention. Designed for automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), high-bay warehouses and other critical logistics environments, FirePASS maintains a controlled, breathable low-oxygen atmosphere that significantly reduces the risk of ignition before a fire can develop.
Unlike conventional warehouse fire suppression systems, FirePASS provides continuous, proactive fire protection without relying on water or chemical extinguishing agents.
- Continuous warehouse fire prevention without water discharge
- No chemical residue or cleanup, helping minimize operational disruption
- 24/7 protection for stored goods, automated systems and critical infrastructure
- Precisely controlled oxygen levels through continuous monitoring and regulation
- Engineered for high-bay warehouses, automated storage facilities and AS/RS environments
More Than Warehouse Fire Suppression
Traditional warehouse fire suppression systems respond after a fire has been detected. FirePASS takes a preventive approach by continuously maintaining the protected area at an engineered oxygen concentration.
This controlled atmosphere creates conditions in which common combustible materials are far less likely to ignite. Oxygen reduction fire prevention is particularly suited to large automated and high-bay warehouses, where high storage densities, valuable inventory and complex automated systems make fire protection and operational continuity essential.
Fire Protection for Automated Storage Facilities
In high-bay and automated warehouses, even a small fire incident can affect inventory, material-handling equipment and business operations. Water-based suppression can also expose stored goods and sensitive automation equipment to additional damage.
FirePASS provides continuous fire prevention for warehouses and automated storage facilities, helping protect inventory, equipment and infrastructure while reducing reliance on conventional water- or chemical-based fire suppression.
Prevent ignition. Protect inventory and automation. Keep warehouse operations running with FirePASS® oxygen reduction fire prevention.

FAQ About Warehouse Fire Prevention
The most suitable fire protection system depends on the warehouse design, storage configuration, combustible materials and operational requirements. FirePASS® oxygen reduction technology offers a preventive solution for automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), high-bay warehouses and other critical logistics facilities. By maintaining a controlled, low-oxygen atmosphere, FirePASS® helps prevent ignition before a fire can develop.
FirePASS® continuously reduces and regulates the oxygen concentration within the protected warehouse to an engineered setpoint. This creates atmospheric conditions designed to prevent ignition of relevant combustible materials under specified operating conditions. Continuous oxygen monitoring and automatic regulation help maintain the required protective atmosphere around the clock.
Yes. FirePASS® oxygen reduction systems can be engineered for automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), including high-density and high-bay storage environments. By helping prevent ignition, FirePASS® protects valuable inventory, automated handling equipment and critical warehouse infrastructure while supporting operational continuity.
Yes. Oxygen reduction technology can be particularly suitable for cold storage and temperature-controlled warehouses, where water-based fire suppression may introduce additional challenges related to freezing, inventory damage and operational disruption. FirePASS® has successfully completed an FP-5000 Twin oxygen reduction project for a 45,000 m³ ASRS cold storage warehouse in Estonia.
Sprinkler systems are designed to control or suppress a fire after activation, typically using water discharge. FirePASS® takes a preventive approach by continuously maintaining a reduced-oxygen atmosphere designed to inhibit ignition. Unlike sprinkler-based protection, the FirePASS® prevention process does not require water discharge, helping avoid potential water damage to stored goods and automated equipment.
Yes. FirePASS® offers scalable oxygen reduction solutions for large storage facilities and high-bay warehouses. For example, FirePASS® completed a fire prevention project for a 230,000 m³ automated warehouse in Riga, Latvia, demonstrating the application of oxygen reduction technology in large-scale logistics environments.
Personnel safety is an essential consideration when designing oxygen reduction fire prevention systems. The appropriate oxygen concentration, occupancy conditions, access procedures and safety measures must be determined according to the facility's requirements and applicable occupational safety regulations. FirePASS® systems are engineered with continuous oxygen monitoring and atmospheric control to support safe operation under defined conditions.
By helping prevent ignition, FirePASS® oxygen reduction technology can reduce the risk of fire-related damage to inventory, automation equipment and warehouse infrastructure. This preventive approach supports business continuity and can help minimize operational disruption associated with fire incidents and subsequent recovery activities.
