Evolution

 

The below floor nozzle as a fire fighting tool is a recent development and is potential usage is only just being explored in the UK and Europe.

Developed in the USA it extols the concept of introducing water into the fire compartment without firefighters entering, and thus affecting the ventilation characteristics. Most importantly it may help lessen the impact of a wind driven (high energy release rate) fire.

There are currently two "Floor below" nozzle systems.

These are new products and have not been directly used, reviewed or assessed by Highrisefirefighting.co.uk. We post this for "Information only". We make no recommendation towards these products, any manufacture, company or supplier.
