ABSTRACT:
A portable fire fighting and vapor suppression apparatus includes a cart having sides defining an enclosure and is a size so that it can be manually moved by a single individual. The cart includes a bottom having wheels mounted thereon. The cart has an internal partition forming an enclosed storage area that is separate from the rest of the enclosure which forms a sealed holding tank for storing a foam concentrate. An eductor is mounted within the enclosed storage area and has an inlet for connecting to a source of high pressure water. The foam eductor includes a foam mixing portion and a discharge. A foam pickup tube is connected to the foam mixing portion and extends through the internal partition to the form holding tank for sucking foam concentrate as water is forced through the inlet and eductor. A fire hose having one end connected to the eductor discharge is stored within the enclosed storage area in a double donut configuration so that as the hose is withdrawn, a corresponding length of hose connected to the eductor is withdrawn.
