  • Ya? Is that going to search for victims to and carry them down a ladder? #fuckin stupid!

  • The best way to attack any fire, highrise or not is to get inside and close, proven since the early days, outside attack is a last resort , high buildings these days don't give you that choice anyway.

  • Yes, and back in the day the world was flat and Christopher Columbus was insane. Undoubtedly this idea is not without its limitations. What about a system similar to that of the space arm (developed in Canada I might add!) that deployed something similar in concept to the FIT 5? If nothing else, it could serve to turn back the clock and allow the troops to set up properly for their finishing touches. The arm system could work its way around exterior damage and approach from infinite directions.

  • Alright all of you need to think about where you are fighting your fire. This is a HIGH-RISE which means that it is going to be windy and wind will in fact push fire into the building. This is not only going to make the fire extremely intense but extremely hard to fight. Before you go spouting your mouth about this or that, why don't you go ask the firemen who have put out these fires, most notably FDNY and LAFD.

  • This system wouldn't function properly (or at all) if a plane or other foreign object crashed into the building, because that would disable the outside structure which the firefighting system is dependent on.

  • Wouldn't this syetm have to wait until the fire broke the glass before hosing down the fire? Isn't that waiting a little too long?

    If the machine would brake the glass itself, anyone inside wouldn't appreciate that.

  • Wouldn't it be a better, cheaper, faster reacting solution to just store water on top of the building with sprinkler heads throughout all the rooms?
