Testing a Fire Monitor – Melbourne

Fire Monitor test

This week we conducted a preliminary fire monitor test.

View this short video taken during the test.

Fire Monitor Testing

We tested the fire monitor which is designed for use in in a high hazard environment. In the video the monitor is shooting between 50 – 100 meters across a field. A fire monitor can deliver a high flow stream of water.

The flow can also incorporate a foaming agent. When foam is required, the water flow is used to suck in a foam concentrate. The combined flow is then sprayed as a foam onto the fire in order to smother a pool fire. A pool fire is a very dangerous fire configuration generally associated with flammable liquids, particularly in flammable storage facilities or transport accidents involving large quantities of flammable fuels.
