CLAYTON LOCOMOTIVE UNITS | RAIL FIRE SUPPRESSION
Our Single Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System has been installed on a locomotive, providing essential fire protection for rail operations.
How Fireward’s Single Agent System Works
Our Single Agent system utilises dry powder suppression to provide fast and effective fire control:
-
Dry Powder rapidly extinguishes flames and suppresses hidden fires in hard-to-reach areas, preventing further damage.
Fire Detection & Agent Release System
This system features an Indirect Release System, deploying suppression agents through nozzles for maximum coverage. It is activated by a Pneumatic Detection Tube, which bursts under high temperatures, releasing pressure in the cylinder and triggering the release of suppression agents through the strategically placed nozzles.
Additional Features
In-Cab Monitor – Alerts the operator when a fire is detected and suppressed.
Manual Actuator – Allows manual activation of the system in an emergency.

Fire Risks in the Rail Industry
Locomotives operating in the rail industry are exposed to high fire risks due to prolonged engine operation, heat build-up, and combustible debris accumulation. Without fire suppression, an engine fire can result in significant downtime, costly repairs, and potential risks to personnel.
