ABSTRACT:
Base for a fire-fighting tool is adapted to be secured to a horizontal surface such as the deck of a ship next to a vertical surface such as a bulkhead of such ship. The base is disposable at an angle that will allow the tip of a penetrator of a nozzle section of the fire-fighting tool, upon activation of an extensible hydraulic ram attached to the nozzle section, to be forced into the bulkhead and ultimately through the bulkhead, after which water may be sprayed into the area behind the bulkhead where a fire may be burning via spray orifices in the nozzle section. The arrangement of the fire-fighting tool at an angle between the deck and the bulkhead assures that there will be a rigid surface available for enabling pressure of the hydraulic ram to be exerted forcefully enough on the end of the penetrator section to breach the wall or bulkhead. The penetrator will dig into the wall surface efficiently and effectively even though it is applied to such wall surface at an angle.
