Forestry Fire Suppression
Forestry equipment is highly susceptible to fire due to the accumulation of timber chips and debris which can ignite from engine heat or hydraulic failures. Hydraulic fluids under pressure add to the intensity of potential fires.
Major Forestry Risks
Forestry equipment operates in challenging environments. The consequences of fires could prove to be severe when considering the equipment involved, the operator, and the surrounding environment.
Staff & Operator Danger
The lives of drivers are at high risk if a fire spreads to the cabin, especially for operators working in isolated areas.
Rapid Fire Spread
A fire in a harvester or skidder can spread rapidly to the surrounding forest or stockpiles, posing a severe environmental and economic threat.
Equipment Damage
Fire damage to machinery caused by engine heat or hydraulic failures, often exacerbated by hydraulic fluids under pressure adding intensity to the fire.
The PSL Difference
Automatic systems installed in engine compartments actuate immediately upon detecting a fire. This rapid response is crucial in preventing the fire from engulfing the machine and spreading to flammable surroundings.
