The efficiency of Sprayed Water and Steam Applied Against Forest Fire

The paper considers the possibility of extinguishing forest fires and creating barrier strips with sprayed water and steam and presents technical means to reduce water consumption. Theoretical and experimental studies are presented confirming the effectiveness of water vapor and sprayed water both as independent fire extinguishing agents and means for creating support strips. As the research results show, water vapor can be used not only as an independent means of extinguishing, but also as a means of greatly increasing the efficiency of moistening with sprayed water. To determine the most effective use of water vapor as a fire extinction agent, studies have been carried out to extinguish the wooden bars and dry grass and branches.
