Fire Rover Cannon System

What is Fire Rover?

Fire Rover is a remotely-controlled detection and suppression system, which already has over 1000 fire-saves on record.

Fire Rover was conceived specifically for the waste & recycling sector and is the ideal solution for almost any high-risk facility / operation.

Fire Rover uses Thermal Fire Detection and  Video Smoke Detection for early-warning of a developing fire risk.  Any alarms detected are immediately viewed by our remote human operators – eliminating the risk of false alarms from disrupting your operations.

If a genuine fire is detected, our Fire Rover remote operators can activate our foam/water cannons and start to fight the fire – whilst notifying the site operators and Fire & Rescue Service.

Why is Fire Rover unique?

Fire Rover is monitored, controlled and operated by trained and experienced operators in a network of remote monitoring stations.  This is key to the systems unparalleled flexibility and accuracy.

Operations at recycling facilities create continual potential false alarm sources for fire detection systems.  Hot vehicle/plant exhausts, dust and steam can all trigger false alarms.

With Fire Rover, these alarms are inspected by our human remote operators – this means that we filter out these incidents, preventing it from ever disrupting your site operations.

They can then take one of 3 steps:

1. False Alarm – Cancel the alert, reset the system. No site disruption.
2. Unsure – Contact the site directly and warn them of a potential threat requiring further investigation immediately.
3. Active Fire or Hotspot – Activate the Onsite Fire Alarm to trigger a site evacuation, call the local Fire Brigade, contact personnel onsite, and actively fight the fire.

After every fire incident, a full system report and video be produced and made available.

Why is Fire Rover so suited to Waste & Recycling Applications?

Fire Rover has a number of key features making it ideal for Waste & Recycling applications:

1. Compact, self-contained system foam supply container – removing requirement for a large pump, tank and water supply.
2. Targeted application of extinguishing agent via remotely-controlled cannon – suppression goes where it needs to go.
3. Combined Thermal Imaging and Video Smoke Detection (depending on your application).  This provides the most advanced early-warning possible for harsh and dirty environments.  Plus you’ll never get false alarms, with our remote operators verifying each alert received.
4. Visual verification of any detection activation – provides a ‘filter’ against false alarms, thereby reducing operational disruption
5. Remote maintenance of the system on daily/weekly basis – ensuring your system is always ready for operation in the moment of need.
