Industry Risks

Automotive fires are more common than you would think, most go unreported. Many owners never consider the fire risks and consequences of not being adequately equipped should a fire occur. Vehicle fires can start with a small fuel or oil leak onto a hot area in the engine compartment or due to an electrical fault in either the engine compartment or inside the cabin of the vehicle.

If the vehicle is involved in an accident the impact can cause a fire. At the time of stress many forget the danger of opening the engine hood during fire and the risk of the fire flaring up and burning them is extremely high.

Consequences

Without fast suppression, one of the most prevalent consequences of a fire anywhere in the vehicle is damage. With the high likelihood of the fire spreading, the damage may not only be contained to the ignition area, but to any areas reached by the fire or the smoke. If the fire spreads into the cabin, the lives of the driver and passengers are at risk of injury or death.

An undetected fire can cause a serious hazard in traffic if an essential component of the vehicle fails while the vehicle is moving, risking not only the lives of the people inside the vehicle but also surrounding people and other vehicles.
