The Need for Fire
Protection
What could you stand to lose in a mass transit bus, paratransit
vehicle, school bus , or rail vehicle fire?
▪ Equipment Damage
▪ Personal Injury Liability
▪ Vehicle Downtime for Repair
▪ Loss of Revenue Producing Vehicle
The modern Transit bus
vehicle -
...with required Emission
Control Systems and Handicap Access Equipment,
...with costly ancillary equipment such as HVAC Systems, AVL Tracking Systems,
Video Security Systems, etc.,
... whether diesel, CNG, LNG, methanol, gasoline, electric, or fuel cell
powered.
- a major capital
investment!
The Jomarr Vehicle Thermatic
Extinguisher Systems are designed to protect certain hazardous areas where
fires start and spread quickly. Applications included:
▪Vehicle engine
compartment
▪Fuel filler/tank area
▪Battery Boxes
▪Particulate trap area
▪AC condenser/evaporator area
▪Electrical cabinets
▪Coolant heater compartment
▪Wherever potential fire hazard exists
Invariably, these potential fire hazards areas are
remotely located. Therefore, there is the risk that a fire which is not
detected quickly will develop rapidly enough to cause substantial damage or even
total destruction of the vehicle.
Besides the obvious risk to public safety and
property, fires often result in serious disruption of transit services due to
reduced availability for service of the fire damaged vehicle. Fires can
also cause financial losses due to the cost of ex-pensive, unscheduled repairs
and unavailability of the revenue producing vehicle.
