IRE SUPPRESSION


Driving fire safety


FIREWARD Ltd is a nationwide, award- winning specialist in vehicle fire suppression systems, delivering fire safety solutions for a diverse range of heavy plant machinery and equipment commonly used within the waste and recycling industry.


Vehicle fires continue to be cited as one of the most dangerous hazards that exist within any waste and recycling business and, as an industry heavily reliant on plant machinery and equipment, it only takes a machine which has not been cleaned or properly maintained to cause a devastating and costly fire.


With most fires originating in and around the engine bay, more specifically, the turbocharger, exhaust manifold and hydraulic lines, these areas carry a potentially devastating risk to any business. Generating heat which is well over the temperature required for instant combustion, the engine bay flies a red flag 24/7.


In 2018, Fireward launched a dual-agent fire suppression system designed to combat A, B and C fires. Due to the speed of detection and activation of the


26


system, fires are commonly suppressed instantly ensuring there is minimal damage to the machine and downtime in the event of a fire.


With the growing awareness and understanding of fire suppression, many insurers are waking up to the benefits; with some insisting that high-risk machinery such as shredders and


screeners will only be insured if they have an approved fire suppression system installed.
