Fire Protection
Engineered to Stop Fire Before It Spreads.
Fire protection in industrial, commercial, and vehicle environments demands engineered solutions that work from the moment a fire event begins — containing heat, limiting flame spread, and protecting people, equipment, and structures without relying on activation, intervention, or power. McAllister Mills designs and fabricates passive fire protection systems built for environments where the consequences of an uncontrolled fire event are severe and standard protection measures fall short.
COMMON CHALLENGES
Containing thermal runaway events in EV and battery storage applications
Limiting flame and smoke spread across buildings and facilities
Protecting personnel and equipment from radiant heat and direct flame contact
Sealing structural penetrations against fire and smoke migration
Custom-fit solutions for complex equipment and enclosure geometries
- Meeting evolving fire safety standards across automotive, industrial, and commercial applications
Featured Applications
Battery Thermal Runaway Management
Passive fire and thermal protection systems engineered to contain thermal runaway events at the battery pack, module, and enclosure level — limiting heat propagation, slowing flame spread, and protecting surrounding components and personnel from the moment a battery event begins. McAllister fabricates custom-fit solutions designed to the specific geometry and configuration of EV battery systems and stationary energy storage applications across vehicle, fleet, and commercial deployments.
Building Fire Containment
Engineered fire curtains, barriers, and containment systems designed to compartmentalize fire and smoke within a defined zone, protecting building occupants, adjacent spaces, and structural systems from the spread of heat and flame. McAllister fabricates custom fire containment solutions for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, and institutional structures where passive fire protection is a critical component of overall building safety strategy.
Structural Penetration Sealing
Passive fire sealing solutions for wall, floor, and ceiling penetrations where pipes, cables, ducts, and structural elements create pathways for fire and smoke to migrate between compartments. McAllister engineers custom penetration seals that maintain the fire resistance rating of the surrounding structure, closing the gaps that standard construction leaves behind and ensuring continuous passive protection throughout the building envelope.
Equipment & Machinery Shielding
Thermal and fire protection systems designed to shield industrial equipment, machinery, and adjacent components from radiant heat, direct flame contact, and fire spread in high-risk operating environments. McAllister fabricates custom shielding solutions engineered to fit specific equipment configurations, protecting critical assets and reducing the risk of fire escalation across industrial, manufacturing, and energy applications.
