A clear example of the use of this technique is the fact that the closest responder can be sent by the dispatch to a fire incident regardless of whether the responding unit is not within the particular defined region.

Water Mist:

As a significant technique in modern fire research, ultrafine water mist systems enable a more effective translation of water into steam. The steam permits a gas-like spreading that will flood the space for increased extinguishing effects (Dan, n.d.). Ultrafine water mist systems have been embraced in the use of C-gypsum wall board that entrenches moisture pellets. The fire restrictive attributes of the wall are enhanced when the surface of the gypsum board cools through exposure to heat of fire.

Compressed Air Form:

The compressed air form systems are primarily used to enhance the soaking and penetrating abilities of water to enhance its effectiveness as an extinguishing agent.
Due to their huge impact on fire science, there are predictions that the compressed air form systems will be developed for portable systems.

Conclusion:

Modern fire research continues to be a significant development in fire science because of the discovery of various systems that enhance firefighters' ability to save lives and lessen property loss. The impact of the research will have huge impact on firefighting techniques, fire prevention measures, and building codes.
