Where can Coolfire be deployed?
Whatever challenge comes your way, Coolfire offers a solution. This is because UHP extinguishing can be used for many applications. Roughly speaking, this can be divided into two categories.
Basic firefighting
Today, there is growing awareness that fires can be fought in a more efficient and safer way by using a transitional attack. This approach — which involves moving from a defensive to an offensive one — can be done excellently with the help of a UHP system such as Coolfire. Safe and efficient.
Indoor fires can be major risks for those present in the building and firefighters - especially in buildings where people who are less self-reliant live, high-rise buildings or underground buildings. In such a case, it is crucial to keep the fire compartment closed to prevent oxygen from entering the flammable flue gases. In that case, there is a high risk of ignition of these gases and a backdraft or flashover will occur.
Safer deployment
When indoor fires are fought with Coolfire, a so-called knockdown can be given without entering the fire compartment. This makes the final indoor use safer, as this significantly lowers the temperature. An additional advantage is that the use of the Coolfire has precipitated a large part of the smoke and soot particles. The risk of backdraft, flashover or flue gas explosion has thus been reduced to a minimum.
When a fire is raging, you can choose to give a knockdown from outside by using direct or indirect action. If the fire cannot be reached from outside with this method of deployment, specialist tools such as a Coolfire will provide a solution.
Specialist firefighting
Coolfire can be used excellently for specialist firefighting. This includes:
- Ship fires
- Chimney fires
- Container fires
- Silo fires
- Cane fires
- Basement and underground firefighting
- Wildfire fighting
- Fire in complex buildings
- Battery fires
- Fire in difficult and inaccessible areas
- Other situations where fog nozzles or coldcut solutions can offer a solution
