A vehicle includes a chassis, tractive assemblies, a body assembly, a turntable, a platform, and a control console. The tractive assemblies, body assembly, and turntable are coupled to the chassis. The platform supports an operator in a command position and includes an outer perimeter. The control console includes a base coupled to the turntable and spaced from the outer perimeter. The control console includes a movable section that is movably coupled to the base and includes an operator interface configured to receive operator commands to control a vehicle system. The movable section is repositionable relative to the base between a stowed position and an operating position. The operator interface is accessible by the operator from the command position when the movable section is in the operating position. The vehicle has an overall height defining a top plane. The movable section is below the top plane when in the stowed position.

A cleaning device includes a housing, an air driver, an ozone generator, and a catalyst. The housing defines an internal cavity. The housing has a first portion defining a first chamber of the internal cavity, a second portion defining a second chamber of the internal cavity, and an intermediate portion extending between the first portion and the second portion, and defining an intermediate chamber. The first chamber is connected to an inlet of the housing. The first portion having a first width. The second chamber is connected to an outlet of the housing. The second portion has a second width greater than the first width. The first portion, the intermediate portion, and the second portion are linearly aligned along a longitudinal axis of the housing. The air driver is positioned within the first chamber. The ozone generator is positioned within the intermediate chamber. The catalyst is positioned within the second chamber.

A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a ladder assembly coupled to the chassis, and a stability system. The stability system includes at least one of (i) a front downrigger coupled to the chassis or (ii) a rear downrigger coupled the chassis, and an outrigger coupled to the chassis. The at least one of (i) the front downrigger or (ii) the rear downrigger and the outrigger are extendable and retractable to facilitate leaning the fire apparatus at least two degrees relative to a ground surface while maintaining full operational capability of the ladder assembly.

A system for and method of fighting fires using a monitoring system in communication with a hazard mitigation robot. The monitoring system is comprised of a plurality of sensors receiving data that is analyzed by the monitoring system to identify a potential fire. When a potential fire is detected, the monitoring system dispatches one or more autonomous hazard mitigation robots which navigate to an indicated location, confirm the presence of a fire, and attempt to extinguish the fire using fire suppressant material carried onboard the hazard mitigation robot.

When it comes to extinguishing destructive fires, one of the greatest tragedies of property loss in fires is the damage done by the water during the extinguishing process. It can be extreme. This invention eliminates the water and the resulting damage and greatly reduces the cost of cleanup and repair after the fire is extinguished.

Furthermore, the greatest threat to fire emergency personnel is close proximity to the fire. Often times, in order to put out a fire, such as in a building, a firefighter must enter the building to get access to the fire. This entails great danger and sometimes death or injury. This invention makes it easier and faster for firefighters to apply fire-extinguishing agents to the fire without entering the building.

Current technology does not offer these benefits.

A vehicle includes a chassis, an implement assembly coupled to the chassis, a stability system coupled to the chassis, and a control system. The stability system includes extendable components that selectively engage a ground surface. The control system is configured to control the stability system to level the vehicle and enable the stability system to lean the vehicle when an operational capability of the implement assembly is at a limit thereof while the vehicle is level to effectively improve the operational capability relative to when the vehicle is level.
