Minneapolis, Feb 17 - Fire protection service provider, Viking Fire Protection Group, has joined the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association (MN Bio-Fuels) as a vendor member.

“The producer members of MN Bio-Fuels operate facilities that require advanced fire protection systems. That’s why we are glad to welcome Viking Fire Protection Group as our newest member. We look forward to working with them to provide additional safety protections for ethanol production facilities, the workers they employ, and the low-carbon fuels they generate,” said Brian Werner, executive director of MN Bio-Fuels. 

Headquartered in St Paul, Minnesota, Viking Fire Protection Group has specialized in fire protection since 1924 and offers fire protection systems and services to customers throughout the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States. 

The company handles all phases of fire protection, including engineering and design, project management, installation, inspection, repair and maintenance, alarm and detection, sprinkler and suppression systems and fire extinguishers. 

Kelly Davidson, business development at Viking Fire Protection Group, said the company has played a large role in the protection of ethanol facilities over the years and joined MN Bio-Fuels to increase its engagement with the industry.

“Viking has a long-standing history in the ethanol and biofuels market. Being part of the engineering and installation over the past years has brought us with great relationships and opportunities,” Davidson said.

He said the company’s qualified sprinkler, alarm, special hazard and fire extinguisher professionals recognize the unique needs of each customer, adding regulatory codes, insurance specifications, environmental and operational concerns are routinely balanced within budget parameters.
