Turtle Fire System
The new Turtle Fire System. Contact us today for more information!
Fighting vehicle fires is inherently dangerous, but electric and hybrid vehicles pose additional challenges to responding crews.
This new system was designed and developed to adapt to the ever-evolving fire service and to support the safety of fellow firefighters and the communities they serve. While it was born out of the need to address the growing concern of electric vehicle fires, the applications for the Turtle Fire System stretch far beyond its original design. Its unique design and operation allows for applications beyond EV fires, such as internal combustion engine fires, cooling flammable liquid and fuel tanks, deep-seated fires, exposure protection, hazmat incidents, and more.
Below are additional suggested applications for the Turtle Fire System:
- Suppress thermal runaway on Electric Vehicles
- Mitigate EV fires long enough to allow time for occupant rescue
- Can be deployed and supplied with low flow, as a precautionary measure under any vehicle at risk of ignition after a motor vehicle accident
- Cooling flammable liquid and fuel tanks
- Exposure protection
- Basement fires
- Deep seated fires in untenable or hard to reach areas of a structure
- Decontamination of firefighters, civilians, hose, equipment, or fire apparatus
- Hazmat incidents
- Maritime applications such as port-hubs accepting shipments of EV and hybrid vehicles, on ferries, etc.
- Bridges and tunnels
- Parking structures
- Parking lots
Designed by Firefighters, for Firefighters
VOLUME
Master stream capable of delivering 500+ GPM.
SAFETAY
Once deployed, the Turtle Fire System operates unmanned, reducing exposure to fire and harmful toxic gasses.
EFFECTIVE
Low-profile design easily deployed under a vehicle to deliver copious amounts of water directly onto an EV battery case.
DURABLE
The Turtle is made in the USA of 100% welded American steel.
SIMPLE
Able to be assembled and deployed rapidly with minimal manpower.
FORCE MULTIPLIER
The Turtle Fire System enables departments to repurpose manpower and do more with less.
Fighting vehicle fires is inherently dangerous, but electric and hybrid vehicles pose additional challenges to responding crews.
As per NFPA guidelines and EV manufacturers’ Emergency Response Guides, firefighters are instructed to deliver copious amounts of water directly onto the battery case to prevent thermal runaway and aid in extinguishing the fire. But with the majority of EV batteries located underneath the vehicle, it’s extremely difficult and demanding on manpower to achieve using the nozzles currently available to the fire service.
The Turtle Fire System is engineered to operate safely, reliably, and effectively under a burning vehicle all while delivering 500+ GPM directly onto the battery case.
The TFS team boasts a combined 50 years of professional firefighting experience. The Turtle Fire System was designed and developed to adapt to the ever-evolving fire service and to support the safety of fellow firefighters and the communities they serve.
