In 2004 I wrote and article for Bus Conversions Magazine that discussed various aspects of Bus and Motor Home fires.

The two main elements of the article are:

1. The presentation of studies of causes of bus fires (conducted in Finland in 2000 and 2001)
2. Discussion of how  fire extinguishing system work  and what types of  fire suppression materials are available.

Included in the article is a discussion of the four classes of fires and how various fire suppression agents fight the fire.

Several years ago I wrote an article for our Eagles International Chapter Newsletter on the subject of doing a pre-trip inspection with an emphasis on the air brake system.  Here is a link  to that article:
