Oshkosh Snozzle

Snozzle Patented Fire Suppression Technology

The SNOZZLE apparatus features a piercing nozzle that can strategically enter an aircraft’s passenger cabin, cargo compartment or other structure for direct application of firefighting agents. The lightweight, highly flexible extendable turret can operate as an elevated water tower through a doorway or over a wing exit without endangering firefighters. The product’s patented ability to shoot a full master stream at ground level allows for quick and effective cooling of burning aircraft tires and hot brakes. In addition, the SNOZZLE can reach down at or below grade where it can successfully employ the “seat of the fire” method of attacking a fuel spill fire.

Maximum Piercing Power

• Nozzle manoeuvres in tight, confined spaces.
• Delivers precise, controlled piercing over the wing, under cargo areas and from high angles.
• Over 36 in. (914 mm) of penetrating depth with 12 in. (305 mm) extenders available
• Applies a powerful 40 ft. (12 m) cold shower pattern of 947 Litres per minute water or foam.

Epic Knockdown

• Applies agent at the precise location of the fire.
• Proven by military and FAA testing to employ “seat of fire” method to fuel spills.
• The Oshkosh® Snozzle® arms you against the greatest, most extreme ARFF threats.
• Choose from a 50 ft. or 65 ft. extendable boom. Unleash your attack from every angle – in the air, on the ground, far below grade. Penetrate fire on both sides of the aircraft with intense precision. Cool tight spaces through door ways and over wing exits without ever stepping foot inside the plane.

Optimized Vehicle Positioning

• Provides effective extinguishing from recommended distances.
• Allows for positioning of the vehicle away from escape slides and triage efforts.
• Permits Theoretical Critical Area (TCA) of fire on both sides of the aircraft.
• Standard LEDs with optional HID lighting for night scenes.

Low Ground Attacks

• Patented design shoots a full master stream at ground level.
• Easily and quickly cools burning tires and hot brakes.
• Wider spray pattern reaches under the plane, cooling fuel tanks and cargo areas.
• Unparalleled below grade reach.
