Safety Alert

Tire Explosion During Equipment Fire

*DANGER!*

*Tires can explode during a fire and after the fire is extinguished.*

On June 14, 2024, one firefighter died, and another was injured when a front end loader tire exploded while firefighters fought the equipment fire.

*Best Practices:*

*In the event of a possible or actual fire (e.g., odor, heat, smoke, flames):*


* *Stop the machine*, lower all attachments, set the parking brake, and turn the equipment off.
* *Actuate the machine-mounted fire suppression system*, if available.
* *Safely exit the machine and retreat to a safe location*, preferably 1,000 feet away.
* *Warn all others in the vicinity of the fire*, notify management, and contact appropriate emergency personnel.
* *Do not attempt to extinguish* a tire fire with a hand-held extinguisher.
* *Wait for emergency responders* to arrive. Stay clear of the fire.
* *From a distance*, emergency personnel can use a fire or water truck to cool down the equipment. (See SAE J2828NOV2016 – Off-Road Tire Handling Guidelines.)
