Fire spikes and fire spike tips adapted to penetrate a surface and distribute a fire suppressant, such as, water, on the opposite side of the surface are provided. The fire spike tips include a cylindrical body having a first end adapted to be received by a conduit and a second end having a pointed projection adapted to penetrate the surface; an internal cavity in the cylindrical body having an open first end and a closed second end; a plurality of first orifices in the body, each of the plurality of first orifices directed in a first substantially radial direction; and a plurality of second orifices in the body, each of the plurality of second orifices directed in a second direction which at least partially intersects with the first direction of the plurality of first orifices. Kits for the fire spikes and methods of suppressing fire are also provided.

A firefighting training apparatus includes a tank having a tank outlet and a tank inlet, and a cuboid-shaped receptacle mounted on top of the tank. The receptacle has an open rear side, a closed front side, a planar top side, and a bottom side with a sump connected to the tank inlet. The closed front side has a vertical lower portion and an angled upper portion connected to the top side. A plane containing the angled upper portion forms an acute angle with the top side to help disperse training fluid within the receptacle. A plurality of flow dividers are provided on the closed front side to further disperse training fluid being sprayed through the open rear side into the receptacle. The tank with the open-sided receptacle mounted on top is supported by a mobile trailer to facilitate transporting the training apparatus to a training site.

A fire suppression nozzle includes a first support plate, a conduit including an inlet and an outlet, and a baffle made of a porous material extending from the first support plate and at least partially surrounding the outlet to form an interior in fluid communication with the outlet and an end opening. The conduit is configured to receive an inert gas at the inlet and provide the inert gas to the interior of the baffle via the outlet such that the inert gas exits the outlet and passes at least partially through the baffle. The nozzle includes a sound absorbing member extending across the end opening to at least partially enclose the interior, and also includes a sound absorbing insert composed of a sound absorbing material and a second support plate arranged against an outer face of the sound absorbing insert and coupled to the first support plate.

A nozzle for atomizing and dispersing a discharge flow of a fluid, and a spacing plate for use in the nozzle is disclosed. The nozzle includes a bonnet, including an inlet port for receiving the fluid in the nozzle, and a first surface extending outward from the inlet port. The nozzle includes at least one deflector base, including a second surface arranged opposite to the first surface. At least one spacing plate is arranged between the first surface of the bonnet and the second surface of the deflector base. The spacing plate includes at least one gap extending through the spacing plate in its perpendicular direction (P) and extending from the outer periphery of the spacing plate to a distance (D) towards the inner section of the spacing plate. A discharge port is fluidly connected to the inlet port allowing the fluid to flow from the inlet port to surroundings of the nozzle. The discharge port is created between the first and the second surface and defined by the at least one gap of the spacing plate.
