In the U.S. alone, there is an average of one bus fire a day.
School buses carry the future - literally. Our future generations rely on us to keep them safe today, and that's why Kidde designed the Student Transport Automatic Fire Sensing and Suppression System (AFSS). In the event of a school bus fire, our system adds valuable time for safe evacuations.
REQUEST FOR QUOTEA small fire can grow into a large fire in a matter of seconds. Our AFSS is fully automatic with no manual input required, which means the driver can focus on evacuating students safely. It's always active and ready to extinguish fires.
It identifies potential risks with the use of linear thermal detection wires. When the temperature threshold is exceeded, our system discharges the Purple K agent in the engine area to eliminate or effectively diminish the threat. An audible alarm is sounded, allowing time for a full safe evacuation.
