Industries We ServeFire and Gas Protection for the Equipment Western Canada Runs On
A vehicle fire suppression system has to survive the same conditions as the equipment it protects. Tagon delivers industrial fire suppression and gas detection engineered for heavy industry across Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Protecting Heavy Construction LP on Fleets
Heavy equipment operates under fire risk from pressurized hydraulic systems and debris accumulation, requiring automatic water mist protection.
- Fires originate inside enclosed engine and hydraulic compartments
- Automatic activation, no electrical power required
- No corrosive residue in hydraulic lines, seals, or wiring
- Protects excavators, loaders, dozers, graders, skid steers, and crane
Construction contractors • Equipment fleets • Rental operators running excavators, loaders, and dozers.
Operational Safety for Oil & Gas
Remote oil and gas sites combine hazardous gas exposure with high ignition risks, requiring grid-independent gas detection and automatic fire suppression.
- Class 1, Division 1 and 2 hazardous location ratings
- Detects H₂S, combustible gases, hydrogen, methane, and ammonia
- Wireless 900 MHz coverage for remote well sites
- Solar-powered monitoring options for off-grid locations
Upstream and midstream operators • Well-site crews • Oilfield service companies running equipment in remote, high-temperature environments.
Fire Suppression for Underground & Surface Mining
Protecting mining operations requires suppression systems built for vibration, dust, and confined, high-heat environments.
- Engineered for confined and below-ground environments
- Compact piping and space-conscious accumulator design
- Withstands vibration, dust, and extreme temperatures
- Installed to HDME safety standards
Surface and underground mining and tunneling operations running haul trucks, loaders, and drills in confined, high-heat conditions.
Automatic Fire Protection for Remote Forestry
Forestry machinery operates in high-risk, remote environments that require automatic fire suppression and extended cooling without operator intervention.
- Engine compartment is the most common point of ignition
- Operates independently of electrical power and operator response time
- Extended cooling phase reduces reignition risk
- Built for harvesters, skidders, processors, and forwarders
Logging contractors and forestry operations running harvesters, skidders, and processors in remote bush sites.
Safeguarding Agricultural Assets & Crop Security
Safeguarding high-value agricultural machinery requires continuous, automatic fire protection that satisfies insurance and protects crops from engine fires.
- Engine compartment fires risk machine, crop, and surrounding land
- Often required by agricultural insurance policies
- Always active, independent of electrical power
- Fitted to combines, balers, tractors, and self-propelled sprayers
Farm operators and custom harvesters running combines, balers, and tractors during peak season.
Passenger & Fleet Protection for Municipal Transit
Protecting transit passengers and fleet assets requires reliable, automatic water mist cooling to contain fires at the source and extend evacuation times.
- Market leader in bus fire suppression since 1995
- First system to pass UNECE R107 testing, in 2016
- Cooling effect extends evacuation time for drivers and passengers
- Fits transit buses, coaches, and commercial trucks
Municipal transit authorities • Commercial fleet operators running buses, coaches, and trucks.
Reliable Protection for Waste & Recycling Operations
Continuous operations and combustible handling subject waste processing equipment to high fire risks, requiring automatic, residue-free engine protection.
- Engine compartment risk compounded by combustible material handling
- No corrosive residue on hydraulic or electrical components
- Protects compactors, balers, loaders, and reach stackers
- Fixed gas detection available for docks and storage areas
Waste haulers • Recycling facilities • Landfill operators running compactors, balers, and loaders.
Thermal Runaway Protection for Battery Storage
Managing thermal runaway risks in battery energy storage requires early gas detection and fire suppression systems configured to each facility's layout.
- Cell-level battery fires are extremely difficult to extinguish directly
- Thermal runaway releases combustible gas before flame is visible
- Early gas detection provides the fastest available warning
- Suppression and detection systems configured to each facility's layout
Utilities • Independent power producers • Facility owners operating grid-scale or behind-the-meter battery storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Tagon install systems in homes or residential vehicles?
No. Tagon works exclusively with commercial and industrial operators, including heavy equipment fleets, oil and gas operations, mining, forestry, agriculture, municipal transit, waste management, and battery storage facilities across Alberta and Saskatchewan.
What equipment does the FOGMAKER system protect?
Any vehicle or machine with a combustion engine, hydraulic system, or electrical compartment, including excavators, haul trucks, harvesters, combines, buses, and material handling equipment. Systems are sized and engineered for each specific machine.
Can gas detection run alongside fire suppression on an oil and gas site?
Yes. Fixed and wireless gas detection for H₂S, combustible gases, and flame events can be deployed on the same site as a FOGMAKER suppression installation, with both sized to the site's specific equipment and layout.
Is the system approved for underground mining?
Yes. FOGMAKER systems are engineered for confined and below-ground environments, withstanding vibration, dust, and extreme temperatures, with installation carried out to HDME safety standards.
How quickly can a system be reset after activation at a remote site?
Reset and refill must be carried out by an accredited technician, since handling the extinguishant and piston accumulator requires FOGMAKER certification. Tagon operates from a warehouse in Okotoks, Alberta, with service across Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Get a Free Risk Assessment for Your Equipment or Facility
Every fleet and facility carries a different risk profile, depending on the equipment, the environment, and what's running through it. A Tagon assessment looks at your specific operation, not a generic checklist, and tells you exactly where the gaps are.
