Pro-Tech to support Miramar upgrades

SACRAMENTO, March 5 (UPI) -- Pro-Tech Industries has been contracted to support a U.S. Marine Corps project upgrading the Air Station Miramar installation north of San Diego.

California-based Pro-Tech Industries said its Fire Protection Systems subsidiary was contracted to upgrade and retrofit the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar with new fire-suppression equipment.

Under the approximately $1.3 million contract, Pro-Tech will install a wet overhead-sprinkler system and grate-nozzle low-level low-expansion foam system.

"We have become one of the leaders in the industry for special hazards applications," Don Gordon, Pro-Tech Industries' chief executive, said in a statement.

"This is one of many hangars that we have installed with a special hazard system, and (we) look forward to installation of many more."
