AUTOMOTIVE &
MANUFACTURING FIRE PROTECTION

AUTOMOTIVE & MANUFACTURING

RMF provides dedicated on-site fire and EMS capability for automotive facilities, from proving grounds to final assembly plants. Our brigades are trained for the specific hazards of automotive manufacturing: fuel systems, paint booths, battery and EV fires, chemical storage, and the operational tempo that makes downtime the primary risk metric.

Why This Matters: Automotive production lines run on tight margins. A single fire incident that halts production for 24 hours can cost millions in delayed deliveries. On-site fire coverage reduces the response gap and limits the loss.

WHAT WE DELIVER AT AUTOMOTIVE FACILITIES

Structural Fire Suppression Engine companies and crews trained in manufacturing-environment fire suppression, foam application, and coordination with fixed suppression systems.

EV & Battery Fire Response Specialized protocols for high-voltage battery fires, thermal runaway, and hybrid/EV vehicle incidents in production and storage environments.

Paint Booth & Chemical Response Flammable liquid handling, paint-booth fire response, solvent-storage incidents, and chemical spill containment.

EMS / Occupational Health On-site paramedics for crush, burn, and trauma injuries common in high-activity manufacturing environments.

Pre-Incident Planning Facility walkthroughs, hazard mapping, and system familiarization built before any alarm. Site-specific preplans for every building and process area.

Prime Contractor Operations All staffing, apparatus, training, and compliance under a single contract. No staffing agencies, no subcontractors.

REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE FRAMEWORK

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.155–.165 — Fire prevention, detection, and suppression requirements for general industry.

NFPA 600 — Facility fire brigade organization, training, and equipment standards.

NFPA 1710 — Response and deployment benchmarks for career fire departments.

NFPA 30 — Flammable and combustible liquids code, relevant for paint and solvent storage areas.

STAFFING MODEL

On-site brigades staff 24/7 to production schedules. Typical configuration:

• Shift Captain — Command, compliance, and site coordination
• Firefighter / Paramedics — Dual-certified for fire and EMS response
• Equipment Technicians — Apparatus readiness, system integration, drills
• EV Specialist (where applicable) — High-voltage hazard trained and equipped
