How Do Fire Fighting Units Work?

The specific operation may vary depending on the type of unit, but here’s a general overview:

• Water Supply: Fire fighting units typically utilize a water tank on the unit itself or connect to an external water source.
• Pump Activation: A pump on the unit pressurizes the water and delivers it through a hose line.
• Fire Hose & Nozzle: The firefighter directs the pressurized water stream towards the fire using a hose and adjustable nozzle.
• Pressure Control: Many units allow for pressure control to optimize the water flow for different fire types.

How to Choose Which Fire Fighting Equipment to Use?

The appropriate fire fighting equipment depends on several factors:

• Type of Fire: Different fires require specific extinguishing methods. Class A fires (ordinary combustibles) typically require water, while Class B fires (flammable liquids) might need foam extinguishers.
• Size of the Fire: Small fires might be managed with a portable extinguisher or a backpack sprayer, while larger fires necessitate fire fighting units or trailers with larger water capacities.
• Accessibility: Consider the ease of access to the fire and the maneuverability of different equipment types.
• User Training: The effectiveness of any fire fighting equipment relies on proper training and familiarity with its operation.

Rapid Spray recommends consulting with your local fire authority for specific guidance on fire safety and choosing the most suitable equipment for your needs.
