The hazards from fire in a moving vehicle are similar to the hazards from fire in a building and so similar steps must be taken to detect the presence of fire, to prevent it spreading and to extinguish it in this special circumstance.

    This paper describes the diferent methods that can be used to provide an effective fire protection system from trains. The various system requirements are set out and a selection is made of the type of system required and the equipment needed to perform each task. Each element of the system, consisting of detection, control and monitoring and extinguishment, is dealt with separately and its advantages and disadvantages are given.

    Finally, an assessment is made of the applications of the system, and reliability, testing, maintenance and safety features are discussed.
