The fire safety departments are utilizing new technologically advanced gadgets so that they can improve the safety of the firefighters.

FREMONT, CA: Being a firefighter can be a difficult job as it is risky and can cause severe injury. Technological advancements in the fire protection industry can be a boon for them. These fire safety gadgets consist of highly advanced fire extinguishers that can put out the flames quickly. Some of the devices are a water mist gun, smart home fire, and smoke detectors, firefighting helmets, and the firefighting grenade.

The new water gun protects firefighters.

The new technology of high-pressure water gun utilizes water mist fire. With this newly designed water gun, the firefighters can stay outside the building while suppressing the flame, thus decreasing exposure to toxic smoke, dangerous flashovers, and heat.

The new water gun model uses a combination of granite dust and pressurized water so that it can cut through hard objects in less than 35 seconds like concrete, bullet-resistant glass, brick, and steel just by making a small hole in it. Using the small hole, the firefighters force a fine water mist inside the building. Furthermore, the firefighters can easily use the technology as it works quickly, and it will also be easy for them to reach the problematic areas.

The water gun can also be used in various sectors and implemented in the standard fire engines. Moreover, the Air Force and Navy firefighters can also use the water gun during stressful situations like fire aboard Navy vessels and aircraft crashes.

Fire extinguishing grenades is transforming.

Earlier, the fire grenades were used for extinguishing the small residential fires. During a fire, the grenade was thrown into it, where it applies to explode and release the liquid. However, the modern fire grenades to extinguish fire uses the condensed aerosol fire suppression method.

These advanced modern grenades can be best used in confined areas. It can benefit the firefighters as they can be used from a distance and even require less maintenance than the other tools.

The sonic fire extinguisher is a new fire safety technology.

Two engineer students developed the mobile hand-held sonic fire extinguisher. The devices have a cardboard collimator and an amplifier that is used for focusing the sound. It uses low frequency so that the bass sound waves can split the burning material from the oxygen supply. The systems help the firefighters to extinguish the fire successfully.

However, the concept is not new, but this is the first time when it has been implemented in a device, and the firefighter can depend on it to reduce the spread of fire and extinguish it. Furthermore, the device does not apply any chemical or water due to which it is a cleaner way to extinguish fire than the traditional process.
