Fire Protection Engineering
Peterson Engineering, LLC provides specialized fire protection engineering services for DoD, commercial, industrial, and educational facilities.
We offer elite life-safety solutions led by the rare expertise of two licensed Fire Protection Engineers. We specialize in high-hazard environments, designing sophisticated systems ranging from standard life safety to high-expansion foam suppression capable of protecting massive aircraft hangars and mission-critical industrial assets.
Fire protection is one of our technical strengths, and our designs are developed to match each facility’s hazards, operational needs, and applicable project criteria.

Elite Fire Protection, Backed by A Qualified Fire Protection Engineer
When you partner with Peterson Engineering, you gain elite life-safety solutions built on a foundation of rare expertise, regulatory compliance, and specialized engineering capability from a Qualified Fire Protection Engineer (QFPE).
Your project is led by a licensed FPE — a rare credential that ensures every system we design is legally compliant, meticulously engineered, and optimized for maximum safety and liability reduction.
We excel in high-hazard environments — designing systems from standard life safety to high-expansion foam suppression capable of protecting massive aircraft hangars and heavy industrial assets.
With deep experience navigating DoD criteria and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), we ensure your mission-critical infrastructure is resilient, compliant, and fully operational under any conditions.
From initial code analysis and hydraulic calculations through construction-phase field observations and final acceptance testing — we stay with your project through sign-off.
