Your source for Amerex Fire Suppression Systems!

August is the peak month for wildfire activity, making fire prevention a top priority for operations in forestry environments.

While Amerex Forestry Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems aren't designed to fight wildfires, they are designed to help prevent vehicle fires that can put operators, equipment, and surrounding areas at risk.

By detecting and suppressing fire in its early stages, these systems help support safer operations in high-risk conditions.

When wildfire risk is at its highest, proactive protection for operators and equipment is more important than ever.

Think your rechargeable portable fire extinguisher is still ready after a quick use? It might not be. Most people don't realize that using a portable fire extinguisher, even partially, can affect its ability to function properly when it’s needed again.

After any use, check it right away. If the pressure has dropped or extinguishing agent has been discharged, the extinguisher may require servicing or recharging to ensure it is ready for any potential emergency in the future.
