If it is able to plug the space while at the same time cutting - it prevents the fire from getting more oxygen. |

thanks bris, great drawing, I knew it would have been
hard explain without a picture. |

.... and the water pressure can be made to
provide the grinding power, so that the
firefighters no longer have to carry gas
tanks(!) into a fire... |
|
|
Many thanks again bris, it's brilliant. Thank you. |

[bristolz] I love the addition of 'hydraulic lines' to the water hose! |

Without allowing oxygen in? Not sure that's possible. The wall material itself, as it is being drilled, will crack and crumble around the cut edge. Even with the 'seal', it would be very difficult. |

And also, the fire fighter would not be able to see where to direct the water flow. |

Spectacular illustration! |

The idea of being able to remotely quench a fire by jetting it out THROUGH the wall would be an attraction, if the water spray was not extreme even occupants of the room might survive.. so long as it was not a magnesium strip packing plant! |

A device that does this is currently being tested by Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service [link] |
