Ford Fire Suppression System

Many of you are probably aware of the issues that arose in recent years regarding rear-end crashes causing fuel tanks to catch fire and explode in the Ford Crown Victoria. These vehicles are widely used by law enforcement and emergency responders under the fleet purchase program. It has recently been brought to our attention that Ford has developed a fire suppression system for these vehicles and has them in place in vehicles manufactured in 2005 and later. Ford has developed a website to inform emergency responders of how the system works...

The Ford Fire Suppression System is designed to reduce the risk of injury in high-energy rear impacts by deploying chemicals designed to suppress the spread of fire or potentially extinguish a fire. By doing so, it provides more time for occupants to either escape from a crashed vehicle or be removed from the vehicle by outside persons.
