System [AFSS-CF]
Made for Arson-type Attack Events
in the Southern Macro Zone of Chile.
Vehicles and Fire
Currently, dealing with fires in vehicles is becoming increasingly complex, mainly due to the new alloys
used in the manufacturing of car bodies and engines.
Traditional extinguishing agents are not designed to reduce the high heat load contributed by the
new materials used. Materials such as the following are being employed:
Our AFSS-CF system is designed to adjust the discharge rate of the agent, allowing
control of the radiant heat temperature and providing operators with enough time to
evacuate the area with a controlled environment.
Optionally, it can incorporate armored cameras with artificial intelligence for automatic activation, minimizing false
positives and optimizing response times in case of fires.
• The system is designed to provide a prudent and necessary amount of time for the
timely evacuation of the operator and the arrival of fire brigade teams. It also aims
to offer a more favorable scenario for containing the fire with portable elements
(portable extinguishers).
• Eventually, depending on the accumulated heat load and the points where the fire
may have originated, the system may be capable of completely extinguishing a fire
incident, as commonly occurs with arson attacks on forestry machines.
• Thanks to its COLD FIRE extinguishing agent, the AFSS-CF systems not only serve to
protect engine compartments or hydraulic systems, but they are also highly
recommended for use in the operator's cabin.
• This system is widely used, with more than 3,500 kits currently installed in Chile,
especially in the forestry industry, where it has been directly tested against
incendiary attacks.
AFSS-CF configuration:
Automatic Fire Suppression System – COLD FIRE
The effectiveness of the COLD FIRE agent is based on the rapid reduction
of temperature, interrupting the chain reaction and eliminating the
possibility of re-ignition by not reaching the temperature necessary for
combustion.
Why use COLD FIRE? Advantages
It is non-toxic. In case of emergency, it can be applied directly to people to
reduce the risk of burns caused by fire or extreme heat.
Certified free of PFOA, PFAS, and PFOS.
In an emergency, it can be applied to fabric or a mouth cover and
It is non-corrosive. breathed through, thus filtering out smoke hydrocarbons,
100% biodegradable. avoiding intoxication and burns to the respiratory system.
Authorized for use by paramedics on skin burns.
Extinguishes all types of fires, according to NFPA
standards: classes A, B, C, D, and K. It is natural, safe, quick, and clean.
Can be used in enclosed spaces without contaminating the air.
It does not pollute.
Reduces the density of smoke hydrocarbons.
Recognized by UL, ULC, NFPA, EPA-SNAP.
Quickly extinguishes any type of fire.
Leaves no residue.
Can be used in foundries.
Water-soluble.
Efficient for use in vehicle fire extinguishment.
Does not require special cleaning.
For use on aircraft in combating forest fires.
Rapidly reduces surface temperatures. Among many other advantages.
Prevents re-ignition.
Creates a fire-retardant protective shield.
In summary, our AFSS-CF system offers the following advantages:
It has certification for use in Chilean Cold Fire is certified by the United State
territory, under Codelco NCC40 (5.10) Testing Company Inc. as a Non-Toxic
standard. product, including aquatic non-toxicity.
Cold Fire has Green Seal recognition. Cold Fire is certified as an agent free of
Environmentally responsible business oral and ocular toxicity, as well as an
practices. agent free of inhalation toxicity.
