Give your first responder the ability to break a negative sequence of events early, from a safe place outside the building! You gain valuable time and it creates a better environment inside the building for both smoke divers and victims.
A smaller fire service like a voluntary fire service that do not perform smoke diving but usually are the first unit to arrive can benefit greatly from being equipped with the Swedish Powder Lance. Today, many Swedish fire services uses a smaller vehicle that takes the first responder directly to the fire. The Swedish Powder Lance is ideal for this purpose! With the Swedish Powder Lance you can avoid toxic fire smoke without having to use breathing apparatus, the equipment fits into a smaller vehicle and it requires neither water tank, pump or hose systems.
If the fire truck with smoke divers is first to arrive, the Swedish Powder Lance offers an early knock-down effect on the fire, even before the water system is pulled out and without the risk of a difficult turn. The time of the first attack on the fire can be several minutes earlier compared to traditional rutines with hose systems, safe water, braking doors and reaching the fire room using smoke diving. The smoke diving could be carried out more safe in lower temperatures and with the smoke filled with salt particles and steam the risk for flash over or back draft is much lower.
