NATISK fire-fighting system application in peat-fire liquidation

摘要

The article touches upon possibility of Natisk fire-fighting system application in peat-fire application. High effectiveness of compressive foam fed by Natisk fire-fighting system to prevent develop of one-spot peat fire into ground fire and further into many spot peat fire has been experimentally determined. The expedience of compressive foam application for antifire trenches filling up to stop peat fires has been noted, it may be combined nith intermixing of smouldering peat. The latter prevents spark scattering in the air, cooled off smouldering peat and in the end it promotes fire liquidation. The experiments of fire- fighting carried out by compressive foam feeding into peat layers adjoining the fireplace were not effective. On our opinion it can be explained by poor moistering of peat by foam. High effectiveness of Natisk fire-fighting system application for prevention of peat fire development into other kinds cause the necessity to go on working in this direction.
