>> Cold Cut Systems’ COLDCUT™ COBRA CUTTING EXTINGUISHER consists of a mixture of water and cutting agent being ejected through a special nozzle on a lance at high pressure (>250 bar) to cut very quickly through all known building and construction materials. The method enables the safe combating of fire and fire gases from the outside of the fire location. Because the penetration hole is so small no oxygen is admitted to the fire, which significantly boosts the firefighting effect in the area. The Cutting Extinguisher suppresses the course of a fire and gives the rescue leader more time to plan operations to facilitate optimum efficiency. www.coldcutsystems.com.
