7. IFEX - This is a shotgun fire extinguisher called the IFEX 3000. There are two cylinders filled with fire extinguishing agent and pressurized air. When the fire fighter pulls the trigger on the gun, the sudden change in air pressure starves the fire. The IFEX 3000 has a range of 16 meters.


8. Foam Fire Suppression - This foam fire suppression system stops fire in under five minutes. The foam mixes with water to expand and floats above the fuel. It can expand three feet high in four minutes. It dissolves right through the concrete floor.
