Buses and Coaches carry a large number of passengers on a daily basis meaning that in the event of a fire, there is a significant risk of injury and loss of life. Fire suppression systems are designed to detect and suppress a fire quickly, reducing the risk of injury and damage to property. In this article, we will discuss Reacton's Fire Suppression Systems for Buses and Coaches and how they can help prevent and control fires in these vehicles.
Why Fire Suppression Systems for Buses and Coaches are essential?
Fire suppression systems are particularly important in buses and coaches because of the limited space available. A fire can spread quickly in a confined space, making it difficult for passengers to evacuate. Fires in buses and coaches are a far too common occurrence with 61% of these fires starting in the engine compartment. Of this 61% of fires, it should be noted that roughly 1/3 started with passengers present which increases the risk of injury and places greater emphasis on the requirement for automatic fire suppression.

Fire Suppression Systems for Buses and Coaches
Fire suppression systems are essential for preventing and controlling fires in buses and coaches. Reacton offers a range of fire suppression systems that are specifically designed for these vehicles.
The Reacton vehicle engine fire suppression system is designed to protect the engine compartment of buses and coaches. This system uses a dry chemical agent to suppress bus fires, which are stored in a pressurised cylinder and released through nozzles when a fire is detected.
The system is equipped with a fire detection tube that detects a rise in temperature in the engine compartment. Once a fire is detected, the system will automatically activate and release the dry chemical agent to extinguish the fire.
The Reacton vehicle engine fire suppression system is easy to install and can be customised to meet the specific needs of each vehicle. It is also low maintenance and cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for bus and coach operators.
