  "textContent": "There is disclosed a valve arrangement (1) provided on a motor vehicle (44, 57) as part of a fire suppression system. The valve arrangement has a first inlet (6) in fluid communication with an on-board source (36) of fire suppression medium and an outlet (8) in fluid communication with an on-board fire suppression target such as a battery (55) or capacitor arrangement in the case of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle (44). The first inlet and the outlet are arranged for fluid communication to permit a primary flow of said fire suppression medium from the on-board source to the target. The valve arrangement also has a second inlet (7) configured for connection to a separate source of fire suppression medium external to the vehicle (such as a fire appliance operated by emergency services). There is a valve (9) associated with the second inlet and which has a closed configuration in which it seals the second inlet, the valve being actuable so as to adopt an open configuration effective to fluidly interconnect the second inlet and the outlet and thereby permit a secondary flow of fire suppression medium from the external source to the target via the outlet.",
