What is now possible with dissociation of Nozzle Pressure (Volume, Reaction Force, Velocity) and back pressure is truly remarkable for Handline Attack Package design. A back pressure increaser makes things possible that just where not before. FDIC International Fire Engineering



Seeing should be believe.

I am curious will metrics around, suppression of structural fires related to application of water be captured. Should we be front loading all of our fire suppression in the vast majority of fires.

Diesel Electric locomotive fires are unique learn basics of safe suppression.

Swipe right for entry to life/search, less fatigue & motion, concentrated edge pick up, a full knock down all ext. surfaces.. porch, walls, ceiling, roof boards, load bearing posts. KISS the Blade Pattern makes fire stream dynamics better.Fire Engineering International Association of Fire Fighters Fire Safety Research Institute


Stream geometry is extremely important as is GPS per square foot. It is a waste to have a single dot, too concentrated, reliant to surface deflection. Leading to weak suppression distribution, imagine a 7/8 solid tip or a fog pattern, both weak compared to Blade. Fire Engineering


Balded Pattern, has demonstrable positive impact in distal room more than a straight or solid stream. Hen segment.mov Kyle Romgus clearly talks about this superiority on Episode 77 on Multiple Call Podcast. hennozzles.com/texas-demo-burn Fire Engineering International Association of Fire Fighters
