APi Group companies (Vipond Fire Protection, VFP Fire Systems and Security Fire Protection) worked together to install a diesel fire pump assembly for a temporary morgue in New Orleans.

On October 20 FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) contacted Security Fire Protection regarding the installation of a fire pump. FEMA is tasked with responding to, planning for, recovering from and mitigating against disasters.

Marshal Gilton, Pump Manager for Security Fire Protection, immediately got on the phone and found a two-year-old pre-packaged fire pump house assembly at a Catholic nursing home in New Brunswick. He also recalled that Brian Irving of Vipond Fire Protection's New Brunswick office attended a fire pump training class earlier in the year so called him for help.
