Abstract
The present invention concerns a portable building fire suppression system which allows fire-fighters to position the device within a building early on in the firefighting process. The device may use automated controls to begin fire suppression. Further, a number of electronics including lighting, smoke detection, alarms, camera, motion sensor, and the like may be included on the portion of the device inserted into the building. These electronic systems may provide vital information early in the firefighting process to inform fire fighters about conditions within the building.
