Have about five of them in a line a quarter-mile wide going into a nasty Dresden-like fire in northern Saskatchewan. Conventional smoke jumpers could follow.
This is something both Red Green and his nephew Harold could appreciate.
Now that I think of it, using it in conjunction with conventional firefighters would work. It could chug along, smoosh a fire, then go another few meters while the crews behind it spend the time needed to do suppression work to keep it from flaring up again. This would be useful for municipal areas like Fort Smith.
Yes, disrupting the flame propagation wave in gas phase combustion. Neat idea, unusable for structural or wildland firefighting.
But perfect for extinguishing oil wells
Absolutely! This particular specialty was outside my purview. I was more into structural enjoyment.
I wonder if it could somehow be adapted to wildfire fighting.

Water supply could be a problem.
Tks! That was a funny one
