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.
