A firefighting utility tool including a handle member and a tool head. The handle member has one of a variety of tool heads attached to a bottom side thereof. The handle is a solid tubular member with a hollow interior that allows water to pass therethrough. The top end of the handle member has a hose coupling located thereon such that a hose can be connected and water can flow into the hollow interior of the handle member. There are a plurality of holes located in the handle member toward the bottom end of the handle member. The holes allow water to exit the handle. The tool allows water to pass through the handle and out of the plurality of holes such that the water can be directed toward a fire without interfering with normal operation of the tool.

An example mitigation device includes a spine having a first support and a second support, the first support and the second support are substantially rectangular with semicircular ends. A plurality of linear tines sandwiched between the first support and the second support and extending in two opposite directions from the spine. A socket on the spine to receive a handle. In an example, each of the tines extend about one-third the length of the tine on a first side of the spine, and each of the tines extend about two-thirds the length of the tine on a second side of the spine. In an example, the tines are substantially perpendicular to the socket and the handle and configured to support the handle in a substantially upright position perpendicular to the ground when the tines are laid substantially flat on the ground.

A dual function shovel and rhino tool that allows a firefighter (or other user) to easily and quickly shift between a shovel and a rhino. The dual function tool is particularly useful in wildland firefighting since only one tool needs to be carried. The dual function tool is not limited to firefighting use but can also be used when one needs two tools in the work of operation they are performing.

An example of a fire-extinguishing apparatus includes a plate member including a convex front surface configured to be exposed to fire, and a concave rear surface. The apparatus includes a handle member including a first end and a second end. The handle member is configured to push the plate member over the fire. A joint connects the first end of the handle member to the concave rear surface. In one example of using the apparatus, the apparatus can be placed on a location on a line of fire. By pushing the apparatus along the line of fire, the fire along the line can be mowed.
