Fire Suppression
In 2019, the US saw 6 fracturing fleets partially or completely burn to the ground due to devastating equipment fires. The cause of the fires are well known. A hydraulic or fuel hose bursts or separates and a stream of flammable fluid sprays on a red hot surface such as an exhaust manifold or turbocharger. The vapors ignite and the fire begins. Since there is ample fuel to feed fires on a typical fracturing location the fires can get out of control before they can be extinguished by personnel with fire extinguishers.
