ABSTRACT:
Modular fire fighting apparatus includes a power module having a turbine driven by fluid, such as water, introduced at a supply inlet to a housing for the module, a drive shaft driven by the turbine and extending from a coupling face of the housing and a fluid outlet disposed at the coupling face of the housing, and various penetrating and extinguishing tool modules each having a housing within which are disposed a fluid receiving inlet and a driven member. The penetrating and extinguishing tool modules are each adapted to be mounted on the power module such that the driven member is releasably engaged with the drive shaft and fluid supplied to the power module housing is delivered to the penetrating and extinguishing tool module housing via the fluid outlet of the power module housing and the fluid receiving inlet of the penetrating and extinguishing tool module housing. The fluid supplied to the housing of the penetrating and extinguishing tool module can be supplied as a fire extinguishing agent to a fire area via a nozzle mounted on the penetrating and extinguishing tool module housing such that the fluid is used as a drive medium and as a fire extinguishing agent. The various penetrating and extinguishing tool modules are designed for simple installation on and removal from the power module and can include, for example, tools such as drills, impact members, expanding and contracting tools and circular and reciprocating saws.
