Blitzfire Portable Monitor
BlitzFire® Ground Monitor
HIGH FLOW, UNMATCHED SAFETY.
FEATURES:
- Flow Rate
With a high flow rate of 500 GPM (2000 LPM), the BlitzFire delivers a powerful stream to knock down fires fast—giving your crew the upper hand when seconds matter. - Standard Model Stream Range
The adjustable attack angle of a standard BlitzFire unit ranges from 10-degrees to 46-degrees, providing flexibility for a wide range of firefighting scenarios. - High Elevation Model Stream Range
The high elevation model extends the vertical attack range from 10-degrees to 86-degrees, ideal for fires requiring steep angles. - Unassisted Operation
The BlitzFire can operate without direct human intervention, allowing firefighters to focus on other critical tasks. This capability is especially valuable in situations where staffing is limited, as it enables effective firefighting with fewer personnel on hand. A safety tiedown strap comes with the BlitzFire that meets the minimum NFPA safety guidelines. - Safety Shutoff Valve
The BlitzFire features an automatic safety shutoff valve that stops water flow if stability is compromised—whether from missing tie-downs, undeployed legs, or unexpected shifting. It stays stable during normal forward/backward movement, with shutoff only triggered by side force. - Foam Compatibility
The BlitzFire can be integrated with various foam systems, including eductors and on-board foam systems. This compatibility allows firefighters to deliver foam effectively, enhancing fire suppression capabilities, especially in situations where foam is required for greater knockdown power and to prevent re-ignition. - Carbide-Tipped Legs
The heavy-duty, carbide-tipped legs provide enhanced stability on a variety of surfaces, ensuring that the monitor remains securely in place during operation. This feature is particularly beneficial when deploying on uneven or slippery terrain, where maintaining a stable position is crucial for effective firefighting. - Safety Locking Pin
The safety locking pin secures the monitor’s off position to prevent unintentional flow of water. - Detent Slide Valve
The BlitzFire’s integrated slide valve offers six detent positions for precise flow control, allowing firefighters to quickly adjust the stream to match changing fire conditions—from wide-area attacks to targeted hits. - Optional Oscillation Coverage
The optional oscillation feature uses a water-driven turbine to automatically sweep the nozzle across a range of 20, 30, or 40 degrees, providing consistent coverage without manual adjustment. This feature is particularly useful for cooling large areas or creating a protective barrier, enhancing the overall capability of the monitor. - Easy Mounting and Storage
The BlitzFire can be easily mounted to any accessible vertical or horizontal surface on a fire apparatus or stored in a compartment for quick access. This convenient mounting and storage option ensures that the monitor is always ready for rapid deployment, saving valuable time during emergency operations. - Rugged Aluminum Valve Handle
The rugged aluminum valve handle on the BlitzFire monitor offers dual functionality, serving both as a control mechanism and a built-in carrying handle.
APPLICATIONS:
- Operate Effectively with Limited Personnel
When staffing is low, the BlitzFire allows a single firefighter to initiate an effective attack with just one hose line. The BlitzFire can also operate unassisted. - Ensure Safe Monitor Operation
In unstable conditions, a BlitzFire’s built-in safety shutoff valve automatically activates, preventing uncontrolled movement and minimizing the risk of injury and equipment damage. - Achieve Optimal Attack Angles
Firefighters often need to adjust their attack angles depending on the situation. The BlitzFire offers flexibility with adjustable angles ranging from 10 to 46 degrees, and up to 86 degrees in high elevation models, providing the necessary versatility for various fire ground strategies. - Precise Water Flow Control
Precise control over water delivery is crucial in many scenarios. A BlitzFire addresses this with its integrated slide valve, offering six detent positions to ensure complete control over the water stream. - Versatile Foam Application
Some monitors are not designed to handle foam effectively, limiting their usefulness. The BlitzFire is compatible with various foam systems, making it adaptable to different firefighting scenarios that require foam for effective suppression.
Compact Storage
The BlitzFire can be mounted or stored easily in a compartment or preconnected to a hoseline.
