TYPHOON: A new firefighting tool to improve water use

Firefighting System’s Typhoon is based on creating, through a centrifugal blower, a very strong, concentrated stream of air into which water is injected through a series of nozzles fitted at the blower exit. The stream carries the water particles, spraying the fuels and the flame, effectively extinguishing all types of fires and, as very little water runs off to the ground, it greatly improves water economy. The “Typhoon” system can be installed on various firetrucks with only small modifications. Also, its application is not limited to forest fire extinguishment but can also be used on other types of fires.
