Love the A jack spread on a Seagrave Tiller..too many want a crane, not speed and placement. TDAs are ladder tenders even the main should focus on that. They are ingress machines, now how about a Tower a every other battalion? Four quadrants of the city? DC Fire and EMS Department Anthony Kelleher

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. FDIC International Fire Engineering International Association of Fire Fighters A Bladed pattern is a major advancement, speeding suppression, by placing large droplets in copious amounts on walls ceilings, floors, fuel packages & within gases in a more effective manner=Easier HEN Nozzles

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.

All major railroads will provide free training for response to Locomotive fires. Fire Engineering International Association of Fire Fighters Fire Safety Research Institute All it takes is a phone call and some networking from your training division. 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

$PLTR is ready NOW. AI, productivity, supply chain, and national security issues are pressing NOW. No need to wait years like $TSLA or $AMZN for massive growth. Palantir’s development is complete and the whole planet needs it NOW.

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
