An apparatus is disclosed for extinguishing a stovetop fire over a stovetop having a first burner, the apparatus including a container detachably mountable to a microwave positioned above the stove top. A supply of fire suppressant material is retained within the container. A heat responsive actuator is disposed on the container. When the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire actuates the heat responsive actuator, at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls from the container toward the first burner.

A wireless system network for managing GPS-tracked stationary spraying systems and GPS-tracking mobile spraying systems deployed on a wireless communication network for supporting the defense of property against wildfires. Each GPS-tracking spraying system includes an electronic circuit or device for (i) automatically tracking the spraying of property with environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid contained in a storage tank, (ii) automatically monitoring the level of environmentally-clean anti-fire liquid in the storage tank, and (iii) generating and transmitting electronic signals to a remote center so that a service can automatically replenish the storage tank of the GPS-tracking spraying system when the level of environmentally-clean anti-fire liquid falls below a predetermined level in the storage tank. This ensures the systems are ready to spray environmentally-clean anti-fire liquid on property before the incidence of wildfire in a proactive manner.

A fire-fighting system for an aircraft, the fire-fighting system having a reservoir having an exterior envelope which delimits an interior volume of the reservoir and an interior wall which extends inside the exterior envelope and separates the interior volume into a first chamber and a second chamber which are separate from one another and are each filled with an extinguishing fluid. A network of pipes, and a valve system are provided which are arranged so as to allow, in succession, the extinguishing fluid to flow from the first chamber to the network of pipes, and then the extinguishing fluid to flow from the second chamber to the network of pipes. Such a fire-fighting system allows simpler installation in the aircraft, the fitting of a single network of pipes and hence a saving in terms of weight and volume.

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.

Disclosed are an extinguishing capsule and a capsule type fire extinguisher including the same, the capsule type fire extinguisher including at least one extinguishing module including a housing configured to receive an extinguishing capsule therein, the extinguishing capsule including an extinguishing material that expands when heat is applied thereto, the at least one extinguishing module configured to release the extinguishing material from the housing to suppress fire, and a main module configured to control the at least one extinguishing module and bidirectionally communicate a fire situation to a fire station or a user terminal.

A next generation, integrated HVAC platform incorporating an automated fire sensing, alarm, emergency geo-location/evacuation alert management system, and a clean agent total flooding fire suppression and control system. The fire sensing-alarm and wireless emergency geo-location/evacuation alert management system systems comprise one or more portable self-contained combustion detection-notification and wireless emergency geo-location/evacuation alert appliances deployed at one or more physical locations. The system comprises one or more fire suppressing agent, agent storage container, agent release valve, agent delivery route, and agent dispersion means. The platform incorporates a clean agent total flooding control system comprising an integrated communication means, sensors and wireless devices, to communicate and control one or more HVAC, fire-sensing, fire suppression/protection, and wireless emergency geo-location/evacuation alert management systems, components, or appliances. In the event of a fire, the system enables comprehensive early detection, alarm, alert, and intervention while minimizing potential physical harm to occupants and damage to property.

Fire suppression systems for aircraft are described. The fire suppression systems include a first fire suppression material source containing a first constituent, a second fire suppression material source containing a second constituent different from the first constituent, and a fluid supply line connecting the first fire suppression material source and the second fire suppression material source to at least one dispenser configured to dispense the first constituent in the form of a first agent in a high rate discharge operation to extinguish a detected fire, and to dispense the second constituent in the form of a second agent in a low rate discharge operation after the high rate discharge operation.

A multimodal platform is provided for a railcar. The multimodal platform includes a first underframe, a second underframe, a loading platform, and rail wheels. The first underframe carries a first container and the second underframe carries a second container. The second underframe is coupled to the first underframe and coupling the first underframe and the second underframe provides an articulation point. The loading platform is disposed above the articulation point and between a first end of the first container proximate the second container and a second end of the second container proximate the first container. The rail wheels are disposed under the loading platform and coupled to the first underframe and the second underframe. The rail wheels are configured to transport the multimodal platform on rails of a railway.
