This summer we’ve seen large, long-lasting fires at landfills, propane storage facilities and even electric vehicle battery facilities. These long, extended firefights can take their toll on fire departments requiring lots of manpower. Now there is a new piece of technology aiming to put these fires out faster without risking firefighters’ lives.“We designed it not to replace firefighters, but to enhance their capabilities and make it safer for them,” Rosenbauer’s Michael Todd told ABC15.
“It gives them the opportunity to get into a warehouse, go upstairs, downstairs, or into a subterranean area,” Todd said. “We have to look and say this is worth risking sending someone in because we can save someone else’s life or if this isn’t worth risking a life but we still need to mitigate the hazard,” said AZ Fire and Medical Division Chief Ashley Losch. “This could come into play.”
It is designed to be put in harm’s way, moving as fast as 8 miles an hour to spots too dangerous for firefighters.
