The aviation industry faces significant fire hazards due to its continuous operations. Fire risks exist across all ground support equipment and airport facilities, and inadequate fire safety measures can lead to disastrous outcomes.
Fires can ignite from various sources, including small vehicles, buses, tow tugs, backup generators, as well as electrical cabinets, server racks, and kitchens, among others.
Since many fires result from unpredictable accidents, a quick and automatic response is crucial to maintaining safety. In high-pressure situations, people may struggle to handle emergencies properly, but an automated fire suppression system can significantly minimize the risk of damage and injury.
Without quick suppression, a fire that starts in a piece of equipment can lead to significant damage. There’s a strong chance the fire will spread rapidly, impacting not just the ignition point or the initial equipment but potentially reaching other equipment, nearby aircraft, or even buildings—putting many lives at risk.
If a fire goes undetected for too long, the consequences can be severe. The blaze will grow larger, requiring more time and effort to extinguish. Delayed action increases the danger of extensive damage, operational shutdowns, and threats to people’s safety.
