This proposal is intended to change the way fires are fought. Currently fire fighters, in themain, extinguish fires by applying large amounts of water. This has limitations in the amountavailable at all fire situations and by the amount of potentially polluting runoff watergenerated. Any new fire fighting technology must address the fact that Fire and Rescueservices worldwide have to cut costs by reducing numbers of personnel and equipment,reducing capital expenditure and yet maintaining safe working practices. The availability ofwater globally is also a factor driving change. Fire fighting methods have not changed muchsince Roman times. This concept will bring a new means to extinguish fires, at less cost andstill retain safe practice. It is anticipated that this technology will eventually be available in a modular formwhich can be adapted and modified to make it available across a much wider range of vehiclesthan current equipment.

这项建议旨在改变灭火的方式。目前，消防队员主要通过使用大量的水来灭火。这在所有火灾情况下的可利用性和产生的潜在污染径流水量方面都有局限性。任何新的消防技术都必须解决这样一个事实，即世界各地的消防和救援服务必须通过减少人员和设备数量、减少资本支出并保持安全工作实践来削减成本。全球水资源的可获得性也是推动变化的一个因素。自罗马时代以来，消防方法没有太大变化。这一概念将带来一种新的灭火方法，成本更低，仍然保持安全的做法。预计这项技术最终将以模块化的形式提供，可以进行调整和修改，使其适用于比当前设备更广泛的车辆。
