minus-squareikt@aussie.zoneOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·3 days agoYeah there was, they have burn over protection in case they get overrun by fire, this one from South Australia for example has a few features: Key features standard across all response vehicles: Cabin deluge systems for cabin glass protection. In-cabin breathing systems for crew oxygen supply for burn over events. Cabin crew protection (window curtains, where required) as radiant heat shields. In-cabin pump control to enable operation of Cabin Deluge from the cab. Under-cabin heat shields to reduce radiant heat penetration of cabin structures. Tyre spray systems to reduce radiant heat. Updated visibility markers to new safety standards to improve fleet visibility on fire grounds and when responding. https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/home/criimson/cfs-completes-most-significant-safety-upgrade-to-its-fleet-since-ash-wednesday-fires-issued-23-mar-10300006849/
