AORRA Fire Suppression Update
Due to the current media attention surrounding fire suppression, AORRA wishes to advise that, following consultation with AASA, fire suppression systems will not be made mandatory for the 2026 season.
Discussions are ongoing regarding potential requirements for 2027. Once a decision has been reached, AORRA will endeavour to provide clear recommendations regarding suitable systems, installation requirements, potential suppliers and the types of suppression agents available.
AASA has advised the immediate implementation of onboard fire suppression systems is voluntary and highly recommended. For season 2026 it is not mandatory.
AORRA will continue to work with AASA and advise all competitors on 2027 requirements with the industry expertise at hand and consultation taken in the best interests in the sport.
We thank everyone for their patience and understanding while these discussions continue.
