The DSPA-5 offers a solution for those fires that happen every day in places that are difficult to access. For example, to attack a basement fire means descending through the hottest air layers from the fire. Flashovers and Backdrafts are real dangers to every fire fighter. The DSPA-5 will knock the flames down in seconds and significantly reduce the temperature.

A shortage of water often causes difficult logistical problems, especially when fighting large fires. Crucial time is often lost. The DSPA-5 knocks down the fire, flames are gone and only a small quantity of water is needed to extinguish even a fully developed fire.

  “Having the DSPA will allow the fire department to enter the building sooner, call for mutual aid and to save the structure with minimal water damage,”
  Ashton Fire Department, 21-01-2011

  "As soon as we popped the DSPA-5 in there, we saw the aerosol fill the room and the visible flames ceased"
  Chief DiCola, Neshannock Fire Department

  “After minutes the temperature had reduced quite considerably and the fire itself was all but extinguished”
  Firefighter Gordon, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service (UK), 2010

Exploding

Although the DSPA-5 is activated and deployed similar to that of a grenade, the product does not explode. In fact it doesn’t add any significant pressure to the room.

Flashover situation

When fighting fully developed fires, which can result in flashovers or backdrafts, DSPA-5 will knock down the flames and drop the temperature quickly and efficiently to a manageable level. For firefighters this will mean that the safety when performing an indoor attack will be increased significantly.
