    Abstract: A fluid distribution system includes a first flow meter configured to be positioned along an agent line, a metering valve configured to be positioned downstream of the first flow meter, a second flow meter configured to be positioned downstream of the first flow meter and an eductor, and a controller configured to selectively operate the fluid distribution system in a testing mode where the controller is configured to acquire a first flow rate of a fluid flowing through the first flow meter and a second flow rate of the fluid flowing through the second flow meter, determine a performance characteristic based on the first flow rate and the second flow rate, and modulate a current setting of the metering valve from a first setting to a second setting and conduct the testing mode sequence again at the second setting to verify the fluid distribution system is performing properly.

    Abstract: A fire-fighting system includes a fluid monitor that includes a fluid outlet and is selectively moveable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The system further includes a controller configured to receive a request to direct a fluid flow from the fluid monitor towards a desired target area, determine whether the fluid monitor is in a proper position to direct the fluid flow toward the target area, and control the fluid flow from the fluid monitor through the fluid outlet based on the determination.

    Abstract: A system for applying a fire retardant with a hose includes a nozzle, a straw coupled to the nozzle, and a container coupled to the nozzle with fire retardant liquid in the container. The nozzle is connected to a hose, such as a garden hose, and mixes the fire retardant liquid with water to create a fire retardant mixture. The nozzle discharges the fire retardant mixture onto a structure or another selected location to reduce the risk of damage due to fire. The system may also be adapted for use with a vehicle for mixing and applying the fire retardant mixture onsite in commercial applications.

    Abstract: A Class-A fire-protected wood product include: a wood product having exterior wood surfaces and being selected from the group consisting of finger-jointed wood products, dimensioned lumber products, cross-laminated timber (CLT) products, and engineered wood products (EWPs); and thin potassium salt crystalline coatings formed on the exterior wood surfaces of said wood product during a surface treatment process involving the coating of said exterior surfaces with an environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid chemical composition, so as to produce a Class-A fire-protected wood product having Class-A fire-protected wood surfaces, when water molecules in said environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid chemical composition evaporate to the environment during drying and formation of said thin potassium salt crystalline coatings. The thin potassium salt crystalline coatings protect the treated exterior surfaces against fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of fire, by interrupting the combustion phase of the fire by one or more pathways, and inhibiting fire ignition and flame spread.

    Abstract: There is described a fire-fighting apparatus comprising a housing comprising an upstream air inlet and a downstream fire-extinguishing stream outlet and a hollow body therebetween, wherein the housing houses an air stream traveling at high velocity; and a spray assembly concentrically mounted to the housing. The spray assembly comprises a fluid inlet connected to a source of fluid outside the housing; and a plurality of injecting assemblies fluidly connected to the fluid inlet and designed for breaking down an inflow of the fluid into droplets and projecting the droplets of the fluid within the air stream in a multiphase fire-extinguishing stream. The injecting assemblies each comprises a fluid outlet; a base plate through which extends the fluid outlet; a holding structure mounted to the base plate and extending downstream therefrom, and a unibody jet-fragmenting device mounted to the holding structure facing the stream of fluid exiting the fluid outlet.

    Abstract: A fire apparatus includes a chassis and a ladder assembly coupled to the chassis. The ladder assembly includes a first ladder section, a second ladder section slidably coupled to the first ladder section, a first support pivotably coupled to the first ladder section, and a second support fixedly coupled to the first ladder section. The first support and the second support are each configured to limit vertical movement of the second ladder section relative to the first ladder section.
