Fireman's Bong
Filter smoke filled air to increase visibility for firefighters and escapees | |
You install high capacity, high flow, motorized Bongs (Water element air filtration units) in buildings in the ceiling. when a smoke detector goes off on a bong smoky air is drawn through the water reducing its opacity, toxicity, and temperature. Improves escape time and firefighters supression time.

Sure that's not 'gargling?' |

Why don't you just have fans on the roof? It would be cheaper, smaller, have lower matainence, and have higher airflow. |

The water doesn't filter anything, just cools the smoke
down. |

Mostly. It does filter tar a little and THC a little more. Maybe [davidcreede] anticipated setting his stash on fire and is worried about the firefighters getting high on duty? |

It will absorb, somewhat, those components that are readily water soluble. Much of the particulates, though, won't come in contact with the water as they are yet airborne within the bubbles. |
