Overview
Marine vessels face unique fire protection challenges including confined spaces, corrosive saltwater environments, and limited access to emergency services. Guspora provides USCG compliant fire protection solutions through our partnership with Buckeye Fire Equipment.
All marine fire protection equipment must be USCG approved and designed for the harsh marine environment. Our offshore-rated extinguishers, foam systems, and detection equipment meet Coast Guard requirements for recreational boats, commercial vessels, and offshore platforms.
