Transport Fire Suppression Systems

Why Are Transport Fire Suppression Systems Important?

With the copious amounts of equipment, parcels and people that get carried around each and every day by transport - it doesn’t take much for there to be a potential fire hazard that could cause panic among the driver and/ or the public. 

Although they are professionals, a lot of the time, the fires are out of the drivers' control. Whether it is a dodgy package that has flammable features or a passenger is intentionally trying to harm others - you can never be too sure when a fire can outbreak. 

A transport fire suppression system will give you the protection necessary to travel without any worries, no matter whether you’re in control or not. Unfortunately, even if human intervention is applicable, sometimes it is too late before the fire begins to spread around the vicinity. 

Even if there are fire extinguishers available or you call the fire brigade - they may not be able to suppress the fire in time before it causes severe injuries, damage or even death. Whereas, if you install a fire suppressant in your transport, you will notice that the fire will be detected before you even notice. 

This transport fire suppression system will then act against all aspects of the fire triangle, whether it be deteriorating the heat or oxygen of the fire and beginning the process of suppression. If the transport was not available to the public, many businesses would be shut down - thus, making sure they’re running optimally at all times is essential.

What Transport Fire Suppression Systems Are Most Effective?

At MEP Fire, we boast a whole selection of fire suppression systems but there are only a select few that can be suitable for transport. Our team of experts are extremely passionate about providing our customers with the right fire protection systems for each scenario. 

Depending on the form of transport, they can be fitted optimally in a safe space that will extinguish the fire effectively. Rather than trying to extinguish the fire yourself, you will now have the ability to evacuate the transport where available and trust in the suppressant agents to cool and reduce the oxygen level in the fire. 

As we put our customer safety as our number one priority, years of research have gone into creating optimal transport fire suppression systems for all forms of transport and we continue to try and test new solutions for future successes. Below, we’re supplying you with a list of fire safety systems that you can implement right away in your various forms of vehicles:

Condensed Aerosol Suppression Systems

A vehicle fire, such as a bus fire, car fire, train fire, etc can be caused by many opposing factors. Whether it is caused by a human inside the vehicle/ the packages being sent to their destination, or, an internal leak, electrical short circuits, mechanical failures and many more - installing an aerosol system will be critical for all of the above.

When installed into your vehicle engine compartment or engine bays, you can expect this system to detect combustion and begin to break down the molecular processes by drenching the fire without any liquid being expended. This system uses potassium salts and non-combustible materials to produce highly chemical agents for the targeted fire. 

This automatic fire suppression system is available here at MEP Fire and can be installed into the vehicle akin to your line of work today if you want the most effective suppression system to attack all elements of the fire triangle.

Chemical Gas Suppression Systems

With this chemical gas suppression system, the fast-acting chemical agents will impact the levels of oxygen that the fire will need to spread around the vehicle. The chemical agent will reduce the oxygen level automatically as soon as fire detection is spotted. 

Whether it is sensitive electrical equipment, a gas leak or any other components that cause the flames to ignite, the chemical chain reaction and heat absorption will work extremely quickly against the flames. 

If you’re looking to suppress the fire as fast as possible, this fire suppression system here at MEP Fire can be installed into your vehicle with immediate effect - as we continue our surge to prevent fires from harming transportation across the UK.
