A wastewater management system has a container with the first chamber and a second chamber therein, a diverter valve having an inlet and a first outlet, a holding tank interconnected to the first outlet of the diverter valve, and a controller connected to the diverter valve so as to move the diverter valve to the first position. The first outlet is directed to the first chamber. The inlet of the diverter valve is adapted to receive wastewater from a location remote from the container. The inlet is connected to the first outlet in the first position. The diverter valve can be a three-way valve having a first outlet directed to the first chamber and a second outlet directed to a second chamber. The controller moves the diverter valve between first and second outlets.

A fire detection and suppression system operates in independent autonomous modes or under human command. Optical, thermal and laser based sensors detect fire conditions. Anemometers and thermometers detect environmental conditions, allowing the system to adjust the flow of fluid from the system to the targeted flame or condition. Algorithmic analysis of the input data in connection with such preselected thresholds permits rapid detection of fire conditions and in automatic modes triggers a suppression response. A feedback loop enhances adjusts for dynamic flame and environmental conditions.

An automated telescopic water cannon and nozzle gun apparatuses that function by variable water pressure controlled by actuator and gear motor. Water pressure extends the water cannon nesting tubes and distance is restrained by center tube retainer cap connected to a winch cable. The water cannon handle bars are positioned for balancing allowing the firefighter to control the apparatus when tubes are extended and the winch reversed pulls the tubes back to the home position.. The bipod elevates, lowers, extends and retracts with actuators for positioning of the apparatus. The external tube has a an attachable polycarbonate heat and blast resistant shied connect at the end. The apparatus connected to the water tank may be transported by a helicopter to fight all types of fires, for an aerial attack. The water nozzle gun has an extended tube stock connection for control assistants and nozzle extension for direct and angle application.

The current invention is a remotely controlled fire suppression system that pipes water directly from a water main to a water cannon. The water can be sprayed hundreds of feet from the cannon, which can change direction and angle of spray. The suppression system is attached to a water main, with an electric valve that allows control of pressure and flow rate. The water cannon is attached at the top of the water pipe, which can rise 3′-30′ or more above the ground. The water cannon can be fixed or change direction and angle. The water valve and water cannon are remotely controlled, by wired or wireless communication. Units are identified by GPS and address, allowing individual or government units to use devices at fire sites.

A fire suppressant assembly includes a fluid reservoir that contains an extinguishing fluid and the fluid reservoir is positioned within a predetermined distance of a building. A pump is positioned below ground and the pump is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir to urge the extinguishing fluid outwardly from the fluid reservoir. A plurality of stand pipes is each of the stand pipes is distributed around the building and each of the stand pipes receives the extinguishing fluid from the pump. A plurality of nozzles is each of the nozzles is coupled to a respective one of the stand pipes to spray the extinguishing fluid outwardly from the nozzles onto the roof of the building to inhibit the roof of the building from combusting.

The apparatus, system and method for the suppression and containment of wildfires is provided. The system can be designed as a mobile or a stationary containment system. Each system is operationally connected to a fan assembly that is in fluidic communications with a reservoir tank that is mounted within each, containment system. In one important aspect of the present invention each fan assembly can be customized and engineered to contain the associated wildfire environment.

Described herein are liquid fire retardant concentrate compositions comprising mixtures of ammonium phosphate fire retardants. Specifically, liquid fire retardant concentrate compositions comprising one or more of monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) are described herein. The ammonium phosphate fire retardant(s) is typically suspended and/or dissolved in a liquid, typically with the fire retardant(s) incorporated into the composition in powder, or granular form. In certain aspects of the present invention, the compositions provided may exhibit one or more advantages as compared to current liquid concentrate fire retardants, including enhanced strength (i.e., a higher proportion of fire retardant component per unit volume), reduced toxicity, and/or reduced corrosion.

A mobile firefighting system includes a water cannon enabled for spraying slush on or near a fire. The slush includes solid material (e.g., ice, solid fire retardant) that is projected farther than a liquid could be projected using high pressure. The slush has enhanced fire suppression and fire protection characteristics compared to a liquid. Multiple tanks add enhanced slush chilling capability (e.g., through sequenced chilling) and provide redundant backup systems. A mobile cannon includes multiple reducing nozzles that can be aimed by a rotating base and hydraulic cylinder (for raising and lowering). Continuous tracks and winches contribute to all-terrain capabilities.

An emergency incident system is disclosed. The emergency incident system has an emergency incident module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a computing device, a sensor assembly, and one or more user devices. The emergency incident module, the computing device, the sensor assembly, and the one or more user devices are configured to sense data of environmental conditions, receive input of a first parameter data from one or more users, determine at least one fluid throw based on the sensed data and the first parameter data, display the at least one fluid throw to the one or more users, receive input of a second parameter data from the one or more users, and update the at least one fluid throw based on the sensed data and the second parameter data.

When distribution material is distributed over a target site on a ground surface from an aircraft, a distribution supporting apparatus offers support information to a pilot dropping the distribution material to efficiently distribute the distribution material. The distribution supporting apparatus includes: an input section to which information items on at least an aircraft velocity, an aircraft altitude, and a wind velocity are input; a computation section configured to compute a location at which the distribution material dropped from the aircraft arrives on the ground surface and a density distribution of the distribution material on the ground surface based on the information items input to the input section; and a display control section configured to display, on a display, the support information relating to the location and density distribution computed by the computation section.
