Here are two pictures from a dumpster fire we responded to a few weeks ago. This fire lined up perfectly for use of our “Deck Gun”. This nozzle is so named because it sits atop the fire truck on the deck.
Using this nozzle has some advantages, one of which is that we don’t have to take any hose off the truck, which saves time and maybe someone’s back. Combine the power of the deck gun, 2000 gallons per minute, and the technology of firefighting foam and you get a powerful tool.
In this case the fire went out in about 10 seconds, and with foam it stays out.
