Bus Fire Suppression System
Certified Company ISO 9001-2008
UNECE R107 Approved
Bus transport is considered one of the safest forms of public transport. However, the engine compartments of buses are the biggest challenge for bus transport. Every year, approximately 1% of all buses on roads are exposed to fires, with approximately 70% of these fires occurring in the engine compartment. The consequences of these fires can result in damage to property, directly affect the reputation of the bus operator or manufacturer and, in the worst case, cause injury and death of passengers.
From 1 September 2021, all new buses over 22 passengers of Class I, II and III must have a fire extinguishing system installed in the engine compartment, approved according to the UNECE Regulation. No. 107.
The BlazeCut automatic fire extinguishing system with UNECE Regulation. No. 107 approval, with the highest rating brings quality and efficiency to the fire protection of new and old buses without compromise.
System offering
Universal and Variable
- The system is designed to be adapted to any type of bus. The system can be equipped with a number of additional components: signalling and control unit, pressure switch for additional operations, electric or pneumatic detection and manual start of extinguishing, etc.
Fully automatic
- The system does not require the driver to actuate. Even when the bus in parked in the yard without a driver inside the system can still protect the bus.
Visual indicators for the operator
- The system features an alarm panel mounted at the driver’s position. The alarm panel produces an audible as well as a red flashing LED light to signify the system has responded to a fire. While in standby mode a green light indicates the system is active and ready to operate.

System Components
Cylinder Valve
The Cylinder is supplied ready to install with the cylinder valve mounted. The cylinder valve can be pneumatic or electronic and is closed by a piston, which maintains the pressure in the cylinder. When a fire is detected the valve piston opens rapidly and immediately releases the powdered agent. The BlazeCut valve design allows the maximum flow of powdered agent, delivering it to the fire quickly and efficiently.
Cylinder
The Cylinder holds the powder which is used as the suppressant. There are a range of cylinder sizes which vary due to the amount of agent required. The cylinder comes with a cylinder bracket which can be rear or base mounted. Rubber lined secure banding is used to hold the cylinder while assisting with vibration control.
Alarm Panel
BlazeCut offer 2 alarm panels which can be used for the R107 compliant systems. The AAP200 is used in the Electronic heat detection system and has the added advantage of a manual discharge button that is installed at the drivers seat. Both the CAP200 and AAP200 panels monitor the systems integrity and highlight when the system is in either ‘Ok”, ‘Fault’, or ‘Fire’. While fire is flashing an audible alarm will also be initiated.
Detection
BlazeCut offers two distinctly different detection types, electronic BlazeWire and pneumatic BlazeTube. Both are manufacture to be a reliable and stable detection device when installed in the risk areas on the bus. The detection system and its location is paramount to the efficiency of the system to quickly react to fire.
Discharge Nozzles
The Stainless-steel nozzles are protected by a high temperature resistant cap which prevents dirt and debris blocking the nozzle. The nozzles have been designed to deliver a full conical spray pattern with either 120 or 160 degree option. Stainless steel brackets are also available as standard allowing for various mounting options.
