My Avatar ( if youre wondering)

Just in case anyone was wondering about that beautiful piece of Americana. That is the Jack Daniels distillery's recently delivered 105' ladder truck, built by Americans at the Pierce plant in Appleton Wisconsin. It has a 100 gallon prepiped AFFF foam system as well as an onboard dry chemical system. !0 KW PTO generator and loaded with other cool toys. Its the same rig I drive at work.

Hey Gunz. Nice ladder. How much foam will 100 gallons make? I never used the stuff.

It's a really cool rig, but it's soooo easy to miss.....

Well I was going to say_"A Monkey Fu.king a football" but I was trying to be nice.

If that thing sprayed Jack Daniels, it would be welcome at any of my parties!

In the future, Gunz won't be fighting fire with water or foam. He will be squirting acoustic sound waves at a fire instead.

Putting water or foam on a fire disrupts its chemical reaction, but soundwaves attack the physics of combustion. I saw another video and it showed how low-acoustic sound waves can put out flames. So, if you don't have a fire-extinguisher, but have a bass-guitar, you should be okay.....

I think that a fire extinguisher would be a bit cheaper than a bass guitar.

Z, you gotta have transducers on both sides of the flame for that to work. It would be a great technology if they could perfect it, though.

Water damage from putting out the fire is sometimes more costly than the damage the fire causes. It would be nice if we could figure out how to put out a fire without the collateral damage that water causes.

I bet a weapon like that would really be like star wars.

DARPA comes up with some amazing kill you shit

That 100 gallons will yield about 1800 gallons of foam/water when injected into the stream.
