Fire Detection & Suppression Systems
Keeping passenger safety as the focal point of concern, the Indian Railways have taken extraordinary steps to detect and suppress the unfortunate event of a fire breaking out on the train.
The performance of Fire Detection and Response System on Rolling Stock is essential to life safety and operational performance.
Early and reliable warning of a fire event can

Sanrok Enterprises are the leaders for providing innovative solutions for Fire Detection and Suppression for rolling stock by providing the Aspiration Type Smoke Detector for very early warning of smoke/fire incidence for each Indian Railway coach. Our advanced systems have been installed on a plethora of trains such as Rajhdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Humsafar, Garib Rath etc.
All our fire detection and suppression systems comply with the latest RDSO specifications and are of international standards (EN 54 ) & accredited from global agencies such as UL/FM/VdS/ActivFire etc.
The Aspiration Smoke Detector (EN 54-20) works on the principle of actively drawing air samples from the coach through several holes in sampling pipe that are directed to a detection chamber in the detector. The presence of smoke in the sample air results in the scattering of the laser that is instantly detected by a propriety configuration of light receiver. Depending upon the smoke level, an output signal is processed and displayed on the detector chamber. The system is designed as a multi level alarm system with each level of smoke threshold resulting in a different alarm warning for the passengers .The Fire Detection System in all the coaches are connected by hardwire to Central Monitoring System (CMS) which is located in the Power Cars where technical personnel are present.
The Power Cars / Pantry are also equipped with High Pressure Water Mist Fire Suppression System. In case of Fire in the technical area of the Power Cars, the attendant cuts off the fuel supply and activates the fire suppression system that releases a high pressure mist to suppress and extinguish fire.
With our deep technical knowledge, latest technology, strategic tie-ups and team of highly qualified engineers and technicians, Sanrok is the leader in providing the most stringent measures and advanced and innovative solutions for Fire safety so as to provide safe travels to the millions of people travelling daily on the Indian Railways.
