Why is Smoke Detection and Fire Alarm Testing for Rail Vehicles Crucial?
The consequences of a rail vehicle fire can be catastrophic, resulting in loss of life, damage to infrastructure, and significant economic costs. Fires on trains often start due to electrical malfunctions, overheating engines, or improperly discarded materials. Timely detection and response are critical to minimizing the impact.
Smoke detection systems are designed to quickly identify fires, alerting passengers and crew to evacuate the area safely.
