Industrial Fire and Hazard Control’s Double Assassin The advantages of the Double Assassin: • Carries 680 litre premix (Hydral 3C AFFF); 135kg DCP (Purple K) • Discharges: Monitor, attack line, hose reel (electric rewind) • Williams Hydro-Chem technology: water/foam/DCP simultaneously if so selected, through the same nozzle • Heavy-duty trailer (double axle for stability and high-speed manoeuvring) • Up to half the purchase price of conventional apparatus • Stand-alone operation when supplied from a hydrant or relay pumper

very now and then, we can design equipment and apparatus with leading technology that blows conventional systems out of the water with the added advantage of drastically reducing the price for the system when compared to the conventional and yet offering three to four times the efficacy. This is the case with the Double Assassin. Convectional units are often offered on a Land Cruiser or similar type chassis cab with 680 litres of premix and a mere 50kg of dry chemical powder (DCP). On application, it is the monitor and a handline that delivers the foam solution and the DCP is delivered through a wheeled trolley. In other words, each extinguishing media is delivered individually with the corresponding limitations.
The power of DCP at a fire incident can never be underestimated nor neglected. The challenge that the conventional units have is the fact that the distance that the DCP can be applied is so limited that it becomes a risk for the responding firefighters. The Double Assassin mitigates this through the use of Hydro-Chem technology that allows the DCP to effectively reach distances four to five times further than the conventional methods.
The Double Assassin is ideal for operation at: • Airports (up to CAT III) • Game Farms • Mines • Municipal (industrial/urban interface) • Light and heavy industry • Military • Ports Authority • POG facilities The Double Assassin unit is available through Industrial Fire and Hazard Control.
The Double Assassin in turn delivers the foam solution through a monitor, a handline (38/44/65mm) and a hose reel. The DCP is delivered through the hose reel at 3,2kg a second. However, the secret weapon of the Double Assassin is the unit’s ability to discharge water/ foam/DCP simultaneously. 16 | FIRE AND RESCUE INTERNATIONAL
