ABSTRACT:
A portable fire fighting apparatus has a plurality of tanks containing a variety of fire fighting agents, a piping arrangement for selectively connecting the tanks to respective discharge nozzles, and a central control panel which is provided with a plurality of control valves and elements for selectively controlling the discharge of the fire extinguishing agents through the nozzles. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus has three tanks containing water, a chemical fire extinguishing agent, and a foam concentrate, respectively. Water only or a water/foam concentrate mixture is controllably discharged through a first nozzle, while the chemical fire extinguishing agent may be separately or simultaneously discharged through a second nozzle. A piping arrangement for purging the nozzles following discharge is provided and is controllable from the central control panel. The apparatus may be adapted for mounting on a truck, a forklift, or other vehicle. The preferred capacity of the water tank is approximately 200 gallons, the preferred capacity of the chemical tank is approximately 500 pounds, and the preferred capacity of the foam concentrate tank is approximately 15 gallons.
