Over £1.7 Million of Assets Saved From Fires in September

From a loading shovel at a paper recycling station to a dozer operating in a landfill, Fireward’s automatic fire suppression systems saved four high-value assets from fire damage, totalling £1.72 worth of equipment. 

Thanks to our pneumatic fire detection system, every fire was detected early and suppressed before it could grow. 

Fireward delivers proven protection for the waste management industry

The heavy-duty vehicles and machinery that waste management companies rely on are at constant risk of fire. 

The nature of the work, handling combustible waste and operating in debris-filled environments, poses a risk to equipment and the business's operational efficiency. If a fire destroys an essential piece of machinery, daily operations could come to a grinding halt.

These risks nearly became a reality for four businesses this September. But our fire suppression systems saved four valuable assets across the country:

• A material handler at a waste transfer station, worth £220,000
• A loading shovel at a paper recycling facility, worth £200,000
• A dozer operating at a landfill, worth £400,000
• A landfill compactor worth £900,000

At Fireward, we have years of experience installing fire suppression systems that are tailored to the operational needs of waste and recycling operators.

Our trained engineers fit dedicated recycling and waste management fire protection systems, including spark and ember detection, heat and flame detection and specialist fire suppression solutions, that save you money and ensure the continuity of your operations.

Suppression systems for vehicles and machinery

Whether you need to protect mobile or static plant machinery, we can provide a suitable pneumatic fire detection system. 

Pneumatic detection is considerably faster, safer and more reliable than electronic linear detection systems, which some of our competitors use. It activates instantly the moment a fire starts and doesn’t require power, stopping fires before they escalate.

We offer several suppressant agents and will recommend the ideal solution for each application:

• Dry Powder knocks down open and hidden flames and suppresses the spread of fire
• Wet Chemical cools hot surfaces and prevents re-ignition
• Clean Agent is suitable for CNC machinery and electric panels

Our systems also come with additional safety features, including in-cab monitoring, battery isolation, engine shutdown and external manual actuation, providing even more protection to operators and your equipment.
