Fire Fighting Monitors Function and Uses What is a monitor in firefighting? Fire Fighting Monitors play a crucial role in ensuring fire safety. They are used to combat large fires that pose significant risk to life & property. The use of these monitors is necessary to project water or foam in sufficient quantities from a safe distance. Fire Fighting Monitors are used to project water or firefighting foam (or, in some cases, even dry chemical powders) to extinguish large fires. Monitors are employed when handline branches prove ineffective due to their limited range and quantity of agents applied. Fixed monitors help fight fires efficiently as they can discharge water or foam further due to the higher quantity of agent, and their design and installation allow the back thrust to be handled safely. Fire safety encompasses a series of precautions, procedures, and measures implemented to prevent fires, reduce the likelihood of fire-related accidents, and safeguard the well-being of in...
