VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION

This Liebherr 586 wheel loader is now protected with Fireward’s Dual Agent automatic fire suppression system, combining dry powder and wet chemical agents to deliver reliable fire protection in demanding operating conditions.

 

How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works

Our Dual Agent system provides rapid and effective fire control by:

  • Pneumatic Detection – Tube bursts when exposed to flame, triggering the system

  • Dry Powder – Provides rapid flame knockdown

  • Wet Chemical – Delivers prolonged cooling of superheated components

  • Indirect Release – Suppression agents are discharged through strategically placed nozzles targeting critical areas

 

Additional Features:

Manual Actuator – Enables manual system activation when required
Machine Shutdown – Automatically powers down the machine to reduce fire escalation
Battery Isolator – Cuts electrical supply to help prevent electrical fires
