GLTC GelTech, FireIce is ConEd approved!
During 2012, another innovation was introduced that is particularly effective when suppressing fire in manholes or other enclosed structures. It involves the use of a new fire suppression agent called Fire Ice that is added to a hose stream in correct proportions and applied to faulting equipment. The additive helps extinguish flames quickly and dramatically cools burning equipment much more effectively than water alone. This speeds putting out fires and reduces the risk of hot equipment reigniting. With manhole events, there is the possibility that superheated combustion gases and flames may move to adjacent manholes through connecting ducts. The Fire Ice additive can also be used to douse nearby structures to lower the likelihood of ignition originating from the initial fire and degradation to the grid.
