Your toughest mining assets face the highest fire risk. Are you protected?

Heavy equipment operates in extreme conditions, heat, pressure, fuel and constant stress. It only takes seconds for a small ignition to turn into a major incident, leading to downtime, asset loss, and serious safety risks.

Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems stop fires at the source, automatically detecting and suppressing them before they escalate.
At Onyx-Fire, we protect mining fleets of all sizes, from haul trucks to underground equipment, with solutions built for harsh environments:

✔ Rapid automatic detection & response
✔ Rugged, mine-ready design
✔ Protection for critical risk zones
✔ Compliance with industry standards

Because when it comes to fire, seconds matter.
Protect your equipment. Protect your people. Protect your productivity.

Let’s talk about how to safeguard your fleet: www.onyx-fire.com

Fuel Fires Don’t Give Second Chances, Is Your Facility Ready?
Across heavy industrial operations, flammable and combustible liquids are critical to daily processes, but they also introduce serious fire risks that can intensify in seconds.

From manufacturing plants to processing facilities and energy sites, these hazards demand specialized protection.
That’s where Foam Fire Suppression Systems step in.

💡 Why foam matters

Traditional water systems aren’t enough for liquid fuel fires. Foam systems are designed to form a stable blanket over the fuel surface, suppressing flames at the source while preventing v***r release and re ignition.

✔ Smothers flammable v***rs and cuts off oxygen
✔ Rapidly cools fire and surrounding surfaces
✔ Prevents re ignition, even during active spills

Foam suppression is essential in high-risk areas such as:

• Fuel storage and transfer systems
• Industrial processing and production lines
• Maintenance and equipment service areas
• Hydraulic systems and heavy machinery zones
• Power generation and energy facilities

At Onyx-Fire, we design and implement foam suppression solutions tailored to the unique demands of heavy industrial environments. Built to meet NFPA and ULC standards, our systems deliver:

• Fast fire knockdown to stop escalation early
• Enhanced life safety for personnel
• Reduced damage to critical assets
• Full regulatory and insurance compliance
• Seamless integration with detection and alarm systems

Strengthen your defenses where it matters most. Connect with our team to assess your fire risks and develop a foam suppression solution tailored to your facility.

What if you could detect a fire before it even starts?

In heavy industrial environments, waiting for visible smoke or heat isn’t just risky, it’s costly. By the time traditional systems activate, production, critical assets, and safety may already be compromised.

Air Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) changes the game.
🔍 Detect Risk at the Earliest Stage

ASD systems continuously sample the air, identifying microscopic smoke particles at the incipient stage, often before a flame or visible smoke develops. This enables faster intervention, reduced damage, and minimal downtime.
Designed for High‑Value Industrial Operations ASD is ideal for protecting:

• Electrical & control rooms
• SCADA, data & communication systems
• Battery energy storage (BESS) & UPS infrastructure
• Processing lines & automated production areas

⚙️ Why ASD Matters

✔ Ultra‑early fire detection
✔ Reduced downtime & operational disruption
✔ Reliable performance in complex airflow environments
✔ Protection for mission‑critical assets
✔ Seamless integration with suppression systems

Modern industrial facilities can’t afford reactive fire protection. ASD enables a proactive approach, giving you the visibility to act before an event escalates. At Onyx‑Fire, we design and implement ASD solutions tailored to complex industrial environments, ensuring early detection, system integration and operational continuity.

The earlier you detect, the less you lose. Let’s talk about upgrading your fire detection strategy.

When water isn’t an option, what’s protecting your critical infrastructure?

In industrial environments, fire risk goes far beyond the production floor. A fire in control rooms, electrical substations, or automation centres isn’t just a safety concern, it can lead to major downtime, costly disruptions, and long-term operational impacts.

That’s where Gas Suppression Systems make all the difference. Unlike traditional water-based systems, gas suppression solutions are designed to detect and extinguish fires within seconds, without damaging sensitive or mission-critical equipment. They act fast, minimizing impact while maintaining continuity of operations.

Ideal for high-risk, high-value industrial spaces:

✔ Electrical rooms & substations
✔ MCCs, PLCs & automation systems
✔ Data centres, SCADA & communication infrastructure
✔ Battery storage (BESS), UPS & backup power environments

At Onyx-Fire, we design and deploy clean agent and inert gas suppression systems tailored to the complex needs of heavy industrial facilities. Every solution is built around your specific risks and operational requirements.

✅ Rapid fire suppression with zero residue
✅ Minimal downtime and faster recovery
✅ Compliance with ULC and industry standards
✅ Seamless integration with existing fire and life safety systems
✅ Scalable solutions for diverse industrial applications

With 1,200+ certified technicians nationwide, Onyx-Fire delivers end-to-end support, from risk assessments and design to installation, commissioning, inspections and 24/7 emergency response.

Collaboration, knowledge sharing, and raising the bar, that’s what the CFAA Central Ontario Annual Technical Seminar is all about.

Onyx-Fire was proud to be part of this year’s event, where we had the opportunity to dive into fire alarm troubleshooting alongside some of the industry’s most knowledgeable professionals.

There’s something powerful about bringing together hands-on experience, real-world challenges, and lessons learned. The level of engagement and expertise in the room was a clear reminder of just how strong, connected and forward-thinking the fire protection community continues to be.

At the heart of it all is a shared commitment:
➡️ advancing our craft
➡️ strengthening industry standards
➡️ and continuously learning from one another

Events like this reinforce why education isn’t optional, it’s essential. At Onyx-Fire, we’re committed to leading through training, knowledge-sharing, and investment in our people, helping push the industry forward both locally and across Canada.

Thank you to the CFAA and everyone who contributed to another impactful seminar. Get in touch and take your technical expertise to the next level: www.onyx-fire.com

What if you could detect a fire anywhere across your facility, in real time?

In industrial environments, conditions are rarely controlled. Dust, vibration, moisture, extreme temperatures and long equipment run can make traditional point-type fire detection unreliable and costly to maintain. So why rely on detection systems that weren’t built for your reality?

That’s where Linear Heat Detection (LHD) stands apart.
Unlike spot detectors that monitor a single location, LHD cables act as a continuous sensor across their entire length, providing real-time fire detection exactly where it starts. Ideal for complex industrial applications:

✔ Conveyor systems and transfer points
✔ Material handling and storage areas
✔ Cable trays, tunnels, and long runs
✔ Processing equipment and mobile assets

LHD is designed to perform where other systems fail, delivering reliable, actionable detection even in the toughest conditions:

✅ Precise fire location identification for faster response
✅ Reliable detection in high dust, vibration, humidity & extreme temperatures
✅ Fewer nuisance alarms compared to conventional systems
✅ Scalable coverage for large, complex facilities
✅ Seamless integration with fire alarm and suppression systems

At Onyx-Fire, we design custom fire detection strategies tailored to the unique risks and operational demands of heavy industrial facilities. From risk assessment and design to installation and ongoing support, we ensure detection happens where it matters most, at the source.

Ready to strengthen your first line of defence?
Let’s connect and build a Linear Heat Detection strategy designed for your operation.
