What US Fire Pump does

US Fire Pump Company, LLC is a privately held industrial firefighting equipment manufacturer and emergency response service provider founded in 2014 by Chris Ferrara and headquartered in Holden, Louisiana. The company designs, manufactures, and rents specialized high-flow fire pumps, monitor trailers, foam systems, and related equipment for industrial-scale emergencies, with its flagship High Velocity Pump (HVP) holding the Guinness World Record for highest pumping capacity fire engine. The product portfolio spans submersible pumps (1,000 to 20,000 GPM), mobile pump units, monitor trailers (Sentry 2K through 16K), fluorine-free foam concentrates, the FCL-X lithium-ion battery extinguishing agent, and the patent-pending Smiley Tool, complemented by a Firefighting Mobile App for field calculations.

The company operates a capital-intensive hybrid business model combining equipment sales, equipment rentals (with mandatory manpower bundling), 24/7 emergency response services under Master Service Agreements and Standby Emergency Response Contracts, industrial firefighting training, engineering consultation, and custom pipe fabrication. Its primary customer segment is petrochemical and industrial facilities (oil refineries, chemical plants, tank farms), with secondary segments including municipal fire departments and government disaster response agencies. Operations are supported by 8 office/warehouse locations across the US (Holden and Baton Rouge, LA; Vidor and Mont Belvieu, TX; Hammond, LA; West Coast; New Jersey; and a Saudi Arabia dealer office) with over $30 million in strategically positioned standby equipment and a 24/7 dispatch capability including a Honda Jet on standby.

Revenue is generated through eight distinct streams, with the most significant being emergency response services, equipment rentals bundled with trained operators, and direct equipment sales. Geographic expansion into the Middle East via an exclusive dealer agreement with Safety Innovations Company in 2025 targets Saudi Aramco, SAMAREC, and Petromin accounts. The company is led by founder Chris Ferrara as President & CEO, with his son Connor Ferrara as CTO, and draws on over 200 years of combined domain expertise including industry pioneers Dwight Williams and Obie Cambre. The firm has managed over 300 emergency responses and recorded 214,000+ safe work hours in 2024.
