Three nozzle tips — each designed for targeted Smart Water delivery into hidden voids. These tips can cut through cellulose, insulation, and drywall to reach the fire you can’t see. Just because you can’t see the fire doesn’t mean you can’t hit it.

If you’re unfamiliar with alternative hose stretches for high-rise operations, long hydraulic lengths, or underground parking environments, we’ve worked together to connect some of the dots. Different buildings create different problems https://t.co/jT6kUairoq

The tactic is simple: Cool early. Cool often. Cool as you advance. It’s not water damage when it saves lives. SEND IT. #FireService #HighRiseFirefighting #Tactics #Cooling #OccupantSurvival #FireDynamics #SmokeFighters #FirefighterSafety

Support those who support you. Grateful to stand with two people who continue to believe in the mission, the work, and the progression of the fire service. None of us succeed alone — we succeed because others lift, guide, and stand beside us. #FireService #Leadership #Mentorship

Speaking about the end-user experience of building design, where firefighters, occupants, and building systems meet. A well-designed building doesn’t just look good on paper; it performs under stress.

Water reduces toxic exposure. Big water application knocks down particulates, reduces off-gassing, and improves the indoor environment for both occupants and firefighters. SEND IT!

Stairwell design determines the options Improvised standpipe operations. High-rise operations demand adaptability, and the stairwell design often dictates the tactic. We have options — the key is knowing which one fits the building you’re operating in. #HighRiseFirefighting

Thought I was the coolest guy on the plane… then John Hayowyk walked on. A sharp, dialled-in firefighter pushing the fire service forward for all the right reasons. Big thanks to Curt for spotlighting his hard work. Smiles are contagious #FireService #SmokeFighters #Leadership

Flow water. Cool the environment. Create survivability. If you can cool it, you can control it. A space for them. A path for us. Heavy water reduces heat, slows fire growth, and cuts toxins. SEND IT. #FireService #SENDIT #HighRiseFirefighting #FlowWater #Cooling #OccupantSurvival

Calgary’s skyline is continuing to evolve, with several more high-rise projects currently under construction or in the planning stages. Looking forward to learning from my colleagues and sharing insights from ongoing high-rise research and operational experience.
