<strong>Thoughts</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Watercolour</strong> <strong>Artist</strong><br />
Powgas System<br />
This medium is the result <strong>of</strong> extensive research by fire engineering chemists.<br />
The formula is still on the Classified list <strong>of</strong> chemicals, but its basic origin is from the halogen<br />
group.<br />
The discharge is somewhat the same as the conventional dry powder system.<br />
The advantage <strong>of</strong> “POWGAS” is that the powder rapidly converts into large volumes <strong>of</strong> inert gas<br />
at 97.5° Celsius.<br />
Storage vessel is located in the equipment pod.<br />
The vessel being pressurised and refrigerated to prevent the powder from gassing.<br />
The vessel has a capacity <strong>of</strong> 100Kg and this is connected to the multi-purpose hose reel.<br />
Elevator Fire Pack Trolley<br />
This mobile portable unit has stowage facilities within the equipment pod. It can be wheeled out<br />
<strong>of</strong> the pod on runners and folding ramp way. This allows a single firefighter to transport essential<br />
fire equipment along corridors, bridge ways, up and down elevators to the desired location where<br />
it is not possible for the PYROTEC to gain near access.<br />
This portable unit carries the following equipment:<br />
4 – 25m x 40mm flaccid hose for use on landing valves and pillar hydrants.<br />
Resuscitator<br />
First Aid Kit<br />
Self-rescue pack – lines and slings<br />
Various tools (break-in and cutting)<br />
Portable extinguisher and fire blanket<br />
Plug-in complex telephone<br />
Two-way fire ground radio copyright © Brian D. Powell<br />
