An auger system and method that comprises at least one auger. The auger(s) are situated in a processing chamber that is adapted to receive material to be processed by the auger(s). A hopper or chute is associated with the processing chamber in order to direct material into the processing chamber to be processed by the auger(s). The hopper or chute comprises at least one door that is adapted to move into a position to assist with suppression and/or containment of smoke and/or fire that may emanate at any time in such material (e.g., before, during, or after processing of the material by the auger(s)).

A fracturing device includes a power unit, and the power unit includes a muffling compartment, a turbine engine, and an air intake unit. The air intake unit is communicated with the turbine engine through an intake pipe and configured to provide a combustion-supporting gas to the turbine engine; the air intake unit is at a top of the muffling compartment and the muffling compartment has an accommodation space, the turbine engine is within the accommodation space. A fan is further provided to generate wither positive pressure or negative presser in the muffling compartment to facilitate a cooling of the turbine engine.

Systems for improving fire safety in agricultural machinery are configured for detecting, at least partially controlling, and/or suppressing adverse fire-related conditions. The adverse fire-related conditions can include sparks, embers, and/or flames in the agricultural machinery.

A sprinkler system for a temporary chute used for disposal of construction materials during a construction or renovation project. The sprinkler system is releasably engaged with the temporary chute and is used to control dust within the chute, wash down the chute, and extinguish fires. A housing of the sprinkler system is releasably engaged with an intake hopper of the chute, placing an interior chamber of the housing in fluid communication with the chutes' tunnel. First and second sprinkler heads are located within the interior chamber. The first sprinkler head is temperature sensitive and automatically actuated when a threshold temperature is crossed. The second sprinkler head is manually activated by an operator to spray liquid into the tunnel to control dust or wash the interior surfaces of the chute. The sprinkler system and temporary chute are disengaged from the building once the construction or renovation project is completed.

A fire extinguishing chimney bomb is disclosed herein. The device may include a flexible plastic receptacle and a fire extinguishing payload contained therein. The device is dropped down from the top of the chimney into the base of the fire. As the device enters the fire, heat from the fire melts the plastic, thereby releasing the extinguisher agent, which smothers the fuel and extinguishes the fire.
