VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION
This Rail Cyclone 2 jet vac vehicle has been fitted with Fireward’s Dual Agent automatic fire suppression system. Designed for high-demand rail operations, the system delivers targeted protection using both dry powder and wet chemical agents to reduce fire risk during critical maintenance and cleaning tasks.
How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works
Our Dual Agent system delivers layered fire protection through:
-
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 released through nozzles aimed at high-risk areas
Additional Features:
Equipment Shutdown – Automatically stops the machine to help contain the fire
Battery Isolator – Disconnects power to reduce the risk of electrical ignition
In-Cab Monitor – Alerts the operator when the system has been triggered

Fire Risks in Jet Vac Vehicles
The Rail Cyclone 2 operates in confined, high-pressure environments often exposed to flammable debris and engine heat. Combined with prolonged engine use and complex hydraulic systems, this makes the vehicle vulnerable to fire hazards.
Built-in Fire Protection for Jet Vac Vehicles
Fireward’s automatic fire suppression systems provide robust fire control, helping to protect critical assets and minimise unplanned downtime in demanding rail operations.
