JAKARTA - Fire can be a very destructive and deadly disaster. For example, the Plumpang Pertamina Depot fire, which occurred on Friday 3 March at around 20.11 WIB. Pertamina also confirmed that the fire at the Plumpang Depot occurred in a pipe section.

To overcome the fire hazard, a number of experts and researchers continue to develop technology to deal with fires. Fire extinguishing technology continues to develop to help speed up the extinguishing process and reduce the impact of the fire.

Here are the 3 best firefighting technologies in the world today, summarized by VOI from various sources.

1. FireIce

FireIce is a fire extinguishing technology made by GelTech Solutions, a technology company from the United States. FireIce is a mixture of special powders and water that can form an effective protective layer to prevent fires from developing. This technology can be used to extinguish fires on a wide variety of materials, including wood, plastic, paper, and metal.

2. Foggun

Foggun is a fire extinguishing technology developed by a Danish company, FOGTEC. Foggun is a water-based fire extinguishing system that produces a spray of water in the form of a very fine mist. This technology is very effective for extinguishing fires in closed spaces, such as warehouses, office buildings, or production facilities.

3. PyroLance

PyroLance is a fire extinguishing technology developed by a Canadian company, PyroLance Canada. The PyroLance is a water pressure-based fire extinguisher that can penetrate burning materials at high speed and absorb water into the material to extinguish fires from within. This technology is very effective for extinguishing fires on hard-to-reach materials, such as walls, roofs, or layered building materials.

The three fire extinguishing technologies above are the latest innovations in the field of fire fighting and have proven to be very effective in extinguishing fires. Although this technology can assist in fire suppression efforts, it still requires the role of humans in controlling and extinguishing fires as a whole.

Therefore, it is important to continue to increase awareness and skills in the field of firefighting to reduce the impact of these fires.

Meanwhile, to deal with fires caused by large amounts of oil or gasoline, fire extinguishing technology is needed that is capable of dealing with very hot and intense fires. Here are some of the best technologies that can be used to deal with this type of fire:

1. Foam Fire Suppression

Foam fire suppression systems are a very effective technology for extinguishing this type of fire. This system works by releasing a special chemical foam that can cover the surface of the fuel, so the fire does not have a source of oxygen to continue to grow. In addition, foam can also absorb heat from fire, so it can help extinguish fires more quickly and effectively.

2. Dry Chemical Fire Suppression

Dry chemical fire suppression systems are another very effective technology for extinguishing this type of fire. This system works by releasing a special dry chemical powder that can cover the surface of the fuel and prevent the fire from continuing to develop. In addition, dry chemical powder can also absorb heat from the fire and extinguish the fire more quickly.

3. Water Mist Fire Suppression

System The steamy water spray fire extinguishing system is the latest technology that is very effective for extinguishing gasoline or fuel-type fires. This system works by releasing a very fine jet of steamy water that can quickly spread across the fire area. This steamy water has very high cooling properties, so it can help extinguish fires quickly and effectively.

In this type of fire situation, the fire suppression technology selected must be capable of coping with very hot and intense fires. Therefore, the selection of the right fire suppression technology and its correct use is very important to minimize losses and deal with fires quickly and effectively.
