A fire-fighting tool incorporates a twist-lock mechanism whereby various nozzles can be interchanged for particular fire-fighting purposes. Included in such nozzles are a penetrating nozzle having a doubly bevelled front end for easier access through a roof, and various fluid ejection and misting elements that can be configured in terms of fluid aperture angles to produce a mist directed somewhat back towards the user, transverse to the nozzle, or forward from the nozzle. A non-penetrating embodiment of the invention also uses an end ejecting misting region. The foregoing elements can be used in conjunction with various extention wands, which are removably connectable fluid channels bent to various angles, so as to provide easier access to fires that are located within recesses of buildings, motor vehicles, or boats and the like.
A fire-fighting tool for applying a fire-fighting fluid to a fire, comprising:
The tool of claim 11 further comprising a hand grip disposed on and along an outer surface of said elongate hollow tube, along a predetermined length thereof, and comprising a plurality of mutually parallel toroidal extensions, whereby a user of said tool gains assistance from said hand grip in manually grasping said hand grip for the purpose of thrusting said elongate hollow tube along the direction of the principal axis of said elongate how tube.
The tool of claim 11 further comprising ceramic coating disposed principally onto the surface of said elongate hollow tube near to said fluid input means.
