Certainly all the ex-BR DMU stock I come into contact with is fitted with automatic 'fire bottles' which will deploy and soak the underframe if the fire warning system is activated, or can be manually operated by hitting a switch in the cabs. Plus the usual AFFF foam extinguishers on board. I hadn't realised that saloon extinguishers weren't a requirement, that's very suprising. A further improvement would be to also stow the emergecy tool cupboard contents in the cabs too!
