| According
to the National Fire Protection Association, smoke inhalation
possess one of the greatest threats of injury and death by a
fire. Heat exposure comes in as a close second and can be just
as threatening to one's life as fire alone. When water alone
is used to extinguish extremely hot fires, superheated steam
is created and results in life threatening risks to fire fighters.
Fire fighters encounter several
different classes of fires when fighting fires. Most often fire
fighters are confronted with a combination of Class A, B, and
D fires.
- Enhances the safety of fire
fighters, victims, and those surrounding the burning structure
or property
- Cold FireŽ will greatly
increase your chances of safely exiting the burning building
- Significantly less amounts
of water need to be used when using Cold FireŽ Results in
reductions of water damage and reduction in cost.
- The ability to extinguish
a fire is enhanced if Cold FireŽ is being used.
Advantages To Using Cold Fire:
Cold FireŽ encapsulates the hydrocarbons in smoke, reducing
the density of hydrocarbon smoke; therefore, reducing the hazard
of smoke inhalation and increasing visibility. Cold FireŽ has
the unique capability of removing significant amounts of heat
from a structure or object that is on fire.
Cold FireŽ begins to cool down
the structure / vehicle immediately. This unique capability
results in a cooler flow of air, which reduces the risk of heat
exposure, exhaustion, and superheated steam inhalation.
Cold Fire'sŽ rapid removal of
heat and its rapid cooling effect have been successfully tested
on structure, automobile, tire and fuel fires. It works so extraordinarily
well, that after a car fire has been extinguished, within minutes
one can touch the car with their bare hands.
Cold FireŽ has the capabilities
to rapidly extinguish Class A, B, and D fires, as well as combinations
of all three. The product's ability to extinguish a fire significantly
faster than water alone, encapsulate the fuel source, prevent
re-ignition, remove smoke and heat, begin rapid cooling, provides
us with the following advantages:
- Metal Fires:
Cold FireŽ has the unique capability of extinguishing many
different types of metal fires. With a 6%-9% concentration
to water, Cold FireŽ effectively extinguishes magnesium, aluminum,
titanium, sodium, and white phosphorous.
- Fuel And Oil Fires:
Cold FireŽ effectively extinguishes non-polar hydrocarbon
fuels, such as JP-4, diesel, and crude oil, at high boiling
range without re-ignition. Cold FireŽ also works effectively
on oil well fires.
- Fire Break:
Cold FireŽ, when used at a 1% to 3% concentration with water,
has been proven to provide an effective fire break in structure,
object and wildland applications.
