Abstract
“Off the Road” vehicle fire losses are increasing each year. Larger units and increasing usage of electronics and high pressure-high temperature hydraulics combined with accumulations of combustible material increase their vulnerability to fires. Fire suppression systems offered by Deere and most other major manufacturers, are now available for these types of vehicles and have proven their capabilities to reduce fire losses as shown in a recent study on skidder fires.
