Jet Spray is a propulsion and water-spraying tool that allows fire fighters to quickly shoot a hose nozzle into a fire zone that is difficult to access, such as a skyscraper’s high floors. After the hose is connected to a water source, the nozzle douses the flames with a 360-degree spray.
The common method used for putting out a fire within a building is to spray it with water from a source outside the building. Firefighters must carry the hose to the fire from the water source connection point. Even with the tallest ladder and the most powerful pumps, the water will not always reach the highest floors in a reasonable time frame. The use of hoses or water guns from helicopters or other high vantage points is also problematic, as they too need to be connected to a water source.
Jet Spray solves this problem by propelling the hose into the fire zone before it is connected to the water source. Firefighters can transport Jet Spray to the height of the fire via helicopter, then shoot the hose’s nozzle into the appropriate location. The hose can be dropped from the nozzle down to the ground, and connected to a water source. The helicopter can leave the area. Firefighters could also shoot the nozzle from lower floors or from buildings surrounding the burning building.
Jet Spray uses the power of compressed gas to shoot the nozzle into the burning building. Once the hose is connected to a water source, the nozzle will spray water in all directions – radiating it at 360 degrees. Multiple nozzles can be propelled into a building in the case of a serious fire. The nozzle incorporates plastic to keep its weight low for optimal propulsion from the Jet Spray unit. The unit has been designed for safety and comfort, with multiple safeguard mechanisms to prevent accidental firing, a tough outer casing, and a rounded shoulder stock.
Jet Spray would be a great aid in the case of a fire within a skyscraper, or down a narrow street, but it would also allow firefighters to retain a safe distance from the flames and heat of any fire. |
