A new fire fighting equipment system being developed has the potential to reduce injuries, deaths and loss of property resulting from fire. The "Firejector"™ could improve fire fighting performance, and effectively prevent fire in many situations.

About two seconds after Firejector activation a large volume of flames, heat, smoke, gasses and burning brands are entrained, extinguished and forced out.
Advantages of Entrainment Fire Control Using the "Firejector" Equipment Technology:
- Saves lives of fire fighters and fire victims.
- Fire control without firefighters having to enter heavily smoke filled areas - smoke is quickly removed from the confined space.
- Search and rescue is less hazardous.
- Significant reduction in fire, smoke and water damage.
- Efficient use of limited water supply.
- Increases fire crew effectiveness. It can be installed in seconds and left to operate unattended while fire fighters focus elsewhere.
- Eliminate the spread of fire from flying brands, radiant or convective fire spread.
- The unit has no rapidly moving parts (no fan) to wear out or break.
The Firejector uses the powerful entrainment force created by large volumes of high velocity, ultra fine mist water droplets to control fire and gasses. The types of materials and processes entrained include flames, heat, smoke, gasses, burning brands, dust and hazardous or explosive airborne materials.
Additional benefits and uses of this entrainment fire control system include:
- Fire prevention and explosion prevention in contained spaces,
- Control or extraction of toxic or explosive substances,
- Operational applications will include portable units, ladder mount, hand held, permanent installations etc. in many shapes and sizes.
THE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS INCLUDES (but is not limited to): Structural fires - Hazardous Materials Control - Aircraft - Marine - Mine shafts - Fuel Storage - Vehicles - Explosion Prevention - Warehouses - Multi-story Structures - Pipelines - Gas/Oil Wells - Inaccessible Spaces - Dust Control - Grain Storage.
Please note: In some fire attack scenarios the "Firejector" would be used to compliment, not totally replace, a conventional fire attack.
