Metropolitan Fire Protection providing fire protection services to Elk Grove Village data centers

Chicago, February 22, 2022 —As Elk Grove Village continues its growth as one of the highest concentrations of data centers in the Midwest, Metropolitan Fire Protection (MFP) is lending its expertise to help create safe, high-tech facilities for the new businesses moving in. Most recently, the company has been contracted to install state-of-the-art sprinkler and fire suppression systems for data centers in the Elk Grove Technology Park.

For these providers of mission-critical development, facilities management, and construction services to enterprise and hyperscale cloud computing customers, MFP installs sophisticated pre-action sprinkler systems that protect the data centers’ IT servers, telecommunications systems, and switch racks as well as special hazard systems specifically suited to the unique infrastructure requirements of each Technology Park facility.

“As businesses continue to demand more and more sophisticated technology, the need for state-of-the-art facilities to house all that computing power is growing as well. MFP is keeping up with the demand, demonstrating our ability to tackle the complex challenges of keeping their buildings, equipment, and people protected,” said Sean Harrison MFP’s Project Manager. “We’re constantly expanding our range of expertise and experience to accommodate the rapidly changing fire protection demands of the digital world.”
