Common questions
Answers drawn from Ironhorse's published information and standard railway practice. Project specifics are confirmed in the bid.
What can the hi-rail fire truck reach?
Ironhorse publishes a 16,000-litre tank, a 2,050 litre-per-minute pump, a front cannon with 100 to 150 feet of reach, and side sprinklers reaching 80 feet.
When is fire prevention required?
During hot work such as welding and grinding, during provincial fire bans, and where timber bridges, poles, or buildings sit close to the track in dry conditions.
Is fire retardant available?
Yes. Ironhorse publishes the use of Eco-Gel, a stick-and-stay fire retardant for Class A and B fire suppression.
