Defending the Den, Advanced Fire System Safeguards Millwall FC Stadium

The Den, home to Millwall Football Club, has been enhanced with an upgraded fire safety system courtesy of Trustee Fire & Security Ltd’s installation of Advanced panels, providing thorough protection and reassurance for fans, staff, and players.

Located in Bermondsey, London, The Den has been home to Millwall Football Club since 1993. With a seating capacity of 20,146, the stadium is a cornerstone of football heritage and community pride renowned for hosting memorable matches and major events.

The project involved replacing the existing fire system with Advanced’s MxPro 5 panels, meticulously installed across four separate stands. This upgrade not only modernised fire safety capabilities but also integrated seamlessly with the stadium’s existing infrastructure providing continuous protection.

Kristina Matthews, Project Administrator for Trustee Fire & Security, noted the project’s success: “The seamless installation at The Den is a testament to our team’s skills and the versatility of Advanced products. Working closely with Millwall FC, we were able to deliver a state-of-the-art fire safety solution and enhanced protection for all users of the stadium.”

Salvy Vittozzi, Advanced’s Regional Sales Manager for the South East, emphasised Advanced’s role in safeguarding The Den: “We’re proud to have contributed to the safety enhancements at Millwall FC’s historic home ground. The MxPro 5 offers unparalleled reliability and adaptability, making it perfectly suited to the dynamic environment of The Den. This successful collaboration underscores our commitment to protecting iconic buildings and ensuring the fire safety of their users.”

The implementation of Advanced’s fire safety solutions at The Den exemplifies a blend of cutting-edge technology and expert installation, providing peace of mind for Millwall FC and its supporters.
