An electric outlet fire detection and prevention system may comprise a temperature sensor and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) sensor. A processor within the system may monitor the measurements of the temperature and EMI sensors to determine that a fire has developed in an electric outlet box. The processor may then actuate a triggering mechanism in a cartridge containing fire extinguishing material such that the fire extinguishing material is dispersed in the outlet box. The fire extinguishing material may extinguish a developing fire and prevent the fire from spreading further. The processor may also be coupled with a server, which is configured to analyze measurements of the temperature and the EMI sensors and generate a building profile. When the server determines that any measurements deviate from the building profile, the server may instruct the processor to actuate the triggering mechanism and/or notify an electronic device associated with the building.

A method for the suppression of coal seam fires provides for the location and determination of the boundaries of a coal seam fire, directing access to the coal seam, preparation of the coal seam prior to suppression and the suppression of the fire within the coal seam using a foam mixture, the method providing minimal impact and disruption to the surface above the coal seam fire.

The present invention relates to a method for producing compressed-air foam and to a corresponding device. The method comprises providing fire-fighting water admixed with foaming agent, and foaming the fire-fighting water admixed with foaming agent, with addition of compressed gas, wherein the compressed gas comprises a chemical extinguishing agent. The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention allow the production of an effective extinguishing foam due to the inhibitory effect of the chemical extinguishing agent.

A pump combination guard and methods of use thereof, having an inner housing or guard configured to cover mechanical seal assembly and the motor coupling housed between a drive motor and a fluid pump to enable foam spray nozzles to be directly inserted into the coupling guard housings for fire suppression and an outer Air scoop housing or guard configured to direct motor induced airflow over the mechanical seal assembly thereby enabling fire protection and cooling to extend seal life and to protect mechanical seals from pre-mature failure.

A method of and apparatus for making and applying a clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition containing clean fire inhibiting chemicals, and cellulose or wood fiber, mixed with water and other additives, on surfaces including ground surfaces in advance of wild fire, to blanket grounds from wildfire ignition, and also application over smoldering ambers and ashes to prevent re-ignition while reducing (i) the use of significant amounts of water, (ii) the production of toxic run off water, and (iii) toxic smoke.

Novel organosiloxane compounds are disclosed that are useful in firefighting foams. Methods of making and using the organosiloxane compounds and foams are also described.

A fire extinguishing equipment including an extinguishing-launching part-unit and a pressure-resistant storage body with an internal space housing a fire extinguishing material. A transport pipe is connected to the internal space to transport the fire extinguishing material to a use location. An extinguishing part-unit is connected to the external end of the transport pipe and includes one or more event-detecting part-units, which are connected to the extinguishing-launching part-unit. The extinguishing-launching part-unit is supplemented with a separation fitting disposed within the transport pipe, separated from a transport regulation also disposed within the transport pipe. A reference pressure supply part-unit is within the transport pipe between the separation fitting and the transport regulation fitting. Each of the transport regulation fitting and the separation fitting includes a clamping housing and a rupture disc fixed therein, which rupture upon detection of a fire to dispense the fire extinguishing material.

A fire extinguishing equipment with improved characteristics which includes a pressure-resistant storage body with an internal space that houses a fire extinguishing composition. A monitoring unit is connected to the storage body to measure and regulate one or more physical characteristics. At least one discharge outlet is in communication with the internal space of the storage body and is configured to discharge the fire-extinguishing composition from the internal space to a use location. A charging inlet is disposed within the storage body and is configured to fill the internal space with the fire-extinguishing composition. An extinguishing-launching part-unit is inserted into a pipe section between the use location and the discharge outlet.

Fire extinguishing/suppression liquids (with superior fire extinguishing efficacy) use gas nanobubbles in the liquids creating an extinguishing material for fire suppression that can be utilized for any of types of fire suppression applications. The gas nanobubbles may be infused into any type of fire suppression material, which can then be stored in a receptacle for subsequent use by any apparatus, device, or system adapted for delivering such a material to a fire or a location where a fire hazard is imminent.

A method of manufacturing a self-expanding fire-fighting foam solution is disclosed. Here, the method can include purging air from a container, wherein the purging is performed via flowing an inert gas into the container, such that substantially inert environment is created within the container. In addition, the method can further include dispensing or filling a pre-determined amount of foam concentrate into a container, dispensing or filling a pre-determined amount of water into the container, and mixing the foam concentrate and water within the container, wherein the mixed foam and water within the inert container provide the self-expanding fire-fighting foam solution and having a pH ranging from about 6.8 to 7.8 moles per liter.
