A control system for use with a fire-fighting device connected to a pump includes a user interface configured to receive a user-requested parameter of fluid, and a base component in communication with the user interface. The base component includes a programmable logic controller having predefined logic stored thereon. The base component automatically controls operation of the pump based on the predefined logic, the user-requested parameter of fluid, and at least two of: a first actuation state of a first valve configured to control a first flow of liquid from a storage tank at the fire-fighting device, a second actuation state of a second valve configured to control a second flow of liquid from a remote water source, a third actuation state of a third valve configured to control a third flow of liquid to a nozzle, a volume of water stored at the storage tank, and a water pressure associated with the remote water source.

A gas pipe terminal assembly for minimization of fire hazards associated with conductance of a flammable substance. The system includes a pipe having a flange at each end. Each flange includes at least one check valve and a flame screen mounted in the interior of the flange to control a gas flow through the flange. The flange includes wire guide holes and set screw holes within the outside diameter of the pipe, and at least one wire segment in tension inside the pipe and connected to at least one fusible link. At least one fusible link is configured to fuse upon exposure to a temperature above 100 C. and thereby release the tension and activate at least one fire suppression device.

A fire extinguishing tank having a fixed floor watering device for responding to a fire of an electric vehicle charging station, includes a quadrilateral frame-shaped embedded groove formed on a bottom surface at a parking position of the electric vehicle charging station to surround an entering vehicle, and a tube storage part fixedly inserted into the embedded groove. The tube storage part has a storage body in which a receiving groove having a certain width and depth is formed, a gas injection type multi-wall tube having a central hole is accommodated in the storage body, an upper opening of the storage body is opened or closed by a cover, and, when a gas injection type multi-wall tube is inflated as air is injected therein, the opening/closing cover is automatically opened, and the inflated gas injection type multi-wall tube forms the tank to surround the vehicle from all sides.

A liquid supply system (900) in which one or more nipples (920) and one or more sprinklers (930) are all connected to a same set of piping (111) that provides livestock consumable liquid. A nipple provides an amount of liquid responsive to an interaction by the livestock with the nipple. A sprinkler sprays or sprinkles liquid responsive to some predetermined criteria/criterion being met, so as to controllable spray/sprinkle the liquid. In this way, the same liquid is provided for consumption by the livestock as it sprayed by the sprinkler.

A control system for use with a fire-fighting device connected to a pump includes a user interface configured to receive a user-requested parameter of fluid, and a base component in communication with the user interface. The base component includes a programmable logic controller having predefined logic stored thereon. The base component automatically controls operation of the pump based on the predefined logic, the user-requested parameter of fluid, and at least two of: a first actuation state of a first valve configured to control a first flow of liquid from a storage tank at the fire-fighting device, a second actuation state of a second valve configured to control a second flow of liquid from a remote water source, a third actuation state of a third valve configured to control a third flow of liquid to a nozzle, a volume of water stored at the storage tank, and a water pressure associated with the remote water source.
