What is Fire Detection and Suppression System (FDSS)?

  • FDSS is a fire mitigation system in buses, which can detect fires in less than 30 seconds and extinguish it within a minute
  • DRDO’s Centre for Fire Explosive and Environment Safety (CFEES), Delhi has developed the technology
  • As per the Road Transport Ministry demonstrations were given on water mist-based FDSS for the passenger compartment and aerosol-based FDSS for engine fire
  • The Ministry also said that FDSS for passenger compartment comprises a water tank of 80 litre capacity, a 6.8 kg nitrogen cylinder pressurised to 200 bar and a network of tubing with 16 number of atomizers
  • FDSS for the engine comprises an aerosol generator with which the fire suppression could be achieved within 5 seconds of the system activation.
  • The active fire protection system has been developed by the Centre for Fire, Explosive and Environment Safety (CFEES), a DRDO laboratory.
