"Hi Wes,
Here are some photos of the house fire we attended on Friday, December 10th, 2009
This century home, 2 storey, had fire showing from all front windows on arrival. The fire had
breached the ceiling of the 2nd floor at the front of the house and travelled through the attic
space to the other end. The roof was old plank board with shingles that was covered by steel. We
utilized the thermal imaging camera to identify hot spots and then began a targeted approach with
the fyrestick. White steam poured out of the attic area when it was charged. This greatly reduced
workload of the interior crews, reduced their exposure time in the hazardous environment and
assisted with overhaul operations. FYI, the outside temperature was 10 deg F with a brazen west
wind, making the wind chill biting.
One of our mutual aid partners, saw your product in action and are currently investigating
purchasing one.
Thank you very much
