Abrégé

A mobile fire suppression system is described which includes a fire suppression line in water transfer communication with a main water source. The fire suppression line is formed of a plurality of layflat hoses having an inner diameter of at least about 8 inches (about 20 cm). The layflat hoses are connected to each other using an adapter having an upper surface connection point connected to a water dispenser to elevate the water dispenser, thereby providing a plurality of adapters and water dispensers in the fire suppression line. The fire suppression line includes one or more inline pumps to increase water pressure in the fire suppression line to provide water pressure at each water dispenser of at least about 80 psi (about 550 kPa).

A mobile firefighting installation for firefighting helicopter bucket filling operations is provided. The installation includes a container with a vessel having an upper opening extending across a portion of the upper surface and one or more conduits extending from a water source. The conduits are configured to transfer water to the one or more containers via a port in the container or, in the absence of the ports, via the open or openable tops. Also provided is a container configured for use in firefighting helicopter bucket filling operations. The container includes a vessel having a flat upper surface and an upper opening extending across a majority portion of the upper surface.

Abrégé

A system for increasing humidity for fire suppression is provided, as well as a process for deploying the system. The system includes a main line formed of lengths of conduit having an inner diameter of at least about 8 inches (about 20 cm). At least some of the lengths of conduit are connected to each other using an adapter connected to a water dispenser in water transfer communication with the main line, thereby providing a plurality of water dispensers along the main line. The system includes one or more inline pumps or branch line pumps for boosting water pressure in the main line to provide water pressure at each water dispenser of at least about 80 psi (about 550 kPa). The deployment process includes steps of determining equipment quantities and transport of the equipment to the vicinity of a water source for deployment.
