Composite Fire Truck Bodies

Airplanes made of composite materials are becoming more popular because the material is strong and can be molded in one piece rather than in welded parts. European fire and emergency vehicles also have been produced for years with similar composite bodies, which are durable, corrosion-proof and maintenance-free. The glass-fiber material, sometimes in combination with foam cores, is injected with resin and cured. Plastisol, www.plastisol.com

PyroLance Fireghting Nozzle

This firefighting system offers firefighter safety by offensively attacking fire and fire gases from a defensive position. The system uses a combination of high-pressure water and a proprietary non-sparking, abrasive material to pierce exterior structures and then blanket the thermal layers inside with a fog of atomized water. The fine mist rapidly reduces the temperature without introducing large amounts of oxygen, reducing the likelihood of flashover or backdraft. The system doesn't replace aggressive, interior-offensive firefighting tactics; it complements them. Pyrolance, www.pyrolance.com
