not good for interior attacks at all

this is like one of those annoying sham wow commercials or blender commercials that seem to make your life easy but actually don't work for crap. When a interior house fire heats up to thousands of degrees this is not a tool im grabbing when going inside.

Basically a glorified piercing nozzle, which has few uses and is usually never pre-connected on most engines, so it would take a long time to get into operation. Less water damage?,...... not really when you are randomly sticking it into a ceiling. You will have to open the ceiling anyways to look for extensions and it will end up getting torn down in the remodel anyway. Use a normal nozzle and a hook like God intended, they will work 99% of the time. This might work better for the other 1%

Interior attack?! They must be immune to steam burns if they're saying they use it for interior house fires. I notice it didn't say anything about it's rated gpm compared to modern nozzles. Also, notice how close they have to get to the fire in order to actually put it out? Why put firefighters that far in the IDLH if you can put the fire out from 20-40 ft away. Seems like a cool piercing nozzle but, not good for much else. Unless you do a lot of wet T-shirt contests.

This is similar to a principle shown some years ago with FD's in Sweden. The first person on the nozzle when entering a room would adjust the nozzle to a fog setting to quickly cool the temperature within the room. Correct?

@Hairymop we have an item like this but we just use it for car fires. but I myself as a Lt. wouldnt take that into a working fire.

we have a different type in the uk in which the water in fired in a really thin jet just at high pressure and it goes through concrete and metal etc.....then one its through we change it to a wide spray.
This is not the same technology as a "high pressure" nozzle. It is a piercing fog nozzle unlike any on the market that provides a heat barrier to the firefighter by reducing 90% of radiant energy, while safely allowing firefighters to access the interior of nearly any structure, vehicle, marine vessel, etc., using the IOWA method. Many fire departments, domestic and international, use our nozzles with great success..
