Heat and time are the two elements against which every fire fighter must struggle. Heat, because it promotes fire growth, personal injury and property damage. Time, because the longer a fire rages out of control, the more difficult it becomes to suppress until it depletes all available fuel. E-115 under the trade name Firewall 11 is a product that is more effective than straight water to rapidly cool the ambient temperature of the fire environment and the fuel surfaces. WATER IS inexpensive and usually readily available. A lot of research has gone into the use of water in fire fighting. Research on new ways of delivering water to the fire, new ways of delivering various hose stream patterns to the fire, water misting to reduce radiant heat and the use of water as a delivery system for additives, such as foams and surfactants. E-115 is an advance technology designed to dramatically increase the efficiency of water as a fire extinguishing agent.
