The Impulse Fire Extinguishing System (abbreviated IFEX) is a series of firefighting equipment that uses small amounts of water fired in high-velocity bursts to put out fires. Engineer Frans Steur began IFEX GmbH in 1994. Water droplets are shot in vaporous bursts that can travel up to 120 metres per second, [1] causing a strong cooling effect that is responsible for much of this system's success. Handheld, backpack, motorcycle, ATV, tractor, helicopter, and other applications are available.
