CATERPILLAR 730 | VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION

Our Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System has been installed on a Caterpillar 730 Articulated Dump Truck, providing essential fire protection for demanding waste and recycling - landfill operations.

How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works:

Our Dual Agent system combines dry powder and wet chemical suppression agents to deliver comprehensive fire protection:

• Dry Powder rapidly knocks down flames and suppresses hidden fires in hard-to-reach areas.

• Wet Chemical cools superheated engine components, preventing reignition through strategically placed nozzles in the engine bay.

Additional Features:

In-Cab Monitor - Alerts the operator when a fire is detected and suppressed
Engine Shutdown - Automatically shuts down the engine to prevent further damage
Battery Isolation - Cuts off the battery supply to reduce electrical fire risks
Manual Actuator - Allows manual activation of the system in an emergency

Fire Risks in Landfill Operations

Although landfill sites are being phased out in some areas, they remain essential for processing waste across the UK. With heavy machinery operating in harsh conditions, the risk of fire is ever-present due to flammable waste, high engine temperatures, and prolonged operating hours. Without fire suppression, a single spark can escalate into a significant incident, leading to costly damage and downtime.
