Fyrestick
Piercing Nozzle
Designed By Fire Professional for Fire
Professionals
Frank Michaud,
the training officer for the Billings, MT Fire Department
decided he needed a new tool for fighting fires safely and
efficiently. After researching the piercing nozzles on the
market he decided that the tool he needed was not available
on the market.
He turned to Wes Nelson, owner of ProFab, Inc., in Billings,
MT. The result -- one year and four prototypes later -- is the
Patented Fyrestick Piercing Nozzle, which quickly extinguishes
fires in walls or attics using a fraction of the water required
by traditional methods.
Punch Through a Wall, Ceiling or Car Hood
The Patented Fyrestick, is the world’s leading piercing
nozzle. Firefighters use it to punch through a wall, ceiling or
car hood and then introduce a mist of water into an enclosed
space. When the spray hits the superheated space, it is
instantly converted into steam, depriving the fire of oxygen,
dramatically lowering the temperature and forcing water into
every inch of space.
Quickly Extinguish Fires in Walls or Attics
"Ran it for about a minute and the fire was
out"
The piercing nozzle can pump 80 to 100 gallons of water a
minute, the steam is so efficient that you might spray water
for only 10 or 15 seconds, resulting in far less water damage
to the building.
In many cases firefighters, carrying a chain saw or an ax,
climb up a ladder, cut through the roof and then stand or squat
there with a hose, spraying the attic until the fire is out
with 100 PSI trying to push you off of that roof while they are
using it
Todays Lightweight Roofs Are Not Safe
With older construction a firefighter had at least 20
minutes, or even a couple of hours, to fight an attic fire
before the roof collapsed. However, with builders increasingly
moving toward lightweight construction, firefighters nowadays
might not have more than a few minutes.
Firefighter Tim Burns explains how the Fyrestick you can put
a fire out with a one pierce. The Fyrestick is a tool that no
Fire Department should be without, no matter the size or number
of fire fighters.
Made in the USA
Fyrestick is made in the USA by Profab, Inc., using only the
