An engine fire suppression system is a critical safety solution designed to detect and suppress fires in engine compartments before they escalate into catastrophic damage, downtime, or safety incidents. In high-risk industries such as mining, construction, transport, marine, defence, and industrial operations, engine fires can occur rapidly due to fuel leaks, hydraulic failures, electrical faults, or extreme operating conditions.
MultiTorque supplies and distributes engine fire suppression systems built for harsh Australian environments, supporting customers nationwide with reliable, compliant, and proven fire protection solutions.

Why Engine Fire Suppression Systems Are Essential
Engine compartments present one of the highest fire risks across industrial and mobile equipment. High temperatures, pressurised fluids, combustible materials, and continuous operation create ideal conditions for ignition.
An engine fire suppression system provides:
- Automatic fire detection and activation
- Rapid fire knockdown at the source
- Reduced asset damage and repair costs
- Improved operator safety
- Compliance with site and insurance requirements
Unlike portable fire extinguishers, engine fire suppression systems operate without human intervention, ensuring protection even when equipment is unattended or operators are unable to respond quickly.
Common Applications for Engine Fire Suppression Systems
MultiTorque supplies engine fire suppression systems for a wide range of applications, including:
- Mobile mining equipment
- Cranes and lifting machinery
- Heavy earthmoving plant
- Fleet vehicles and service trucks
- Marine engines and generator sets
- Defence and specialist vehicles
- Industrial engines and power units
Each application presents different fire risks, which is why system selection, agent choice, and activation method are critical.
FirePro Engine Fire Suppression Systems
MultiTorque is an official distributor of FirePro aerosol fire suppression systems in Australia, supplying a world-renowned solution ideally suited for engine fire protection.
FirePro is a condensed aerosol fire suppression system that suppresses fires chemically by interrupting the combustion process rather than cooling alone. This makes it extremely effective in enclosed and semi-enclosed engine compartments.
Key Benefits of FirePro Engine Fire Suppression Systems
- No high-pressure cylinders
- No pipework required
- Compact and space-saving design
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Electrically or thermally activated
- Safe for engines and sensitive components
- Certified to Australian Standards, including AS 5062 for mobile plant
FirePro systems are widely used across mobile fleets, mining machinery, and industrial engines where reliability and simplicity are critical.
How Engine Fire Suppression Systems Work
A typical engine fire suppression system consists of:
- Fire Detection
Heat detection tubing, thermal sensors, or electrical inputs identify abnormal temperature increases within the engine bay. - System Activation
Once a fire condition is detected, the system activates automatically without operator input. - Fire Suppression Discharge
The suppression agent is discharged directly into the engine compartment, rapidly suppressing flames and preventing re-ignition. - System Reset or Replacement
After activation, systems are inspected and returned to service following manufacturer guidelines.
MultiTorque supplies systems tailored to the operational environment, ensuring effective coverage and reliable activation.
Engine Fire Suppression for Mobile Plant and Fleets
Engine fires are one of the leading causes of equipment loss in mobile plant and fleet operations. Fuel leaks, oil spray, turbochargers, and electrical systems can ignite within seconds.
Installing an engine fire suppression system helps fleet operators:
- Protect high-value assets
- Reduce downtime and insurance claims
- Meet site safety requirements
- Improve operational resilience
FirePro’s compact aerosol generators make it particularly well suited for mobile applications where space, weight, and vibration resistance are critical.
Compliance and Australian Standards
Engine fire suppression systems supplied by MultiTorque are selected to align with Australian standards and industry requirements. FirePro systems are certified to:
- AS 5062 – Mobile Plant Fire Protection
- AS 4487 – Condensed Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems
Compliance is essential for mining sites, construction projects, and industrial facilities where safety audits and insurance compliance are mandatory.
