ABOUT THE SYSTEM

The increasing personal losses to wildfires have shown that new concepts
in
home protection are needed, and that property owners must take steps to
provide for their own protection.  Intelagard has developed an
exceptionally
simple, effective and affordable fire defense system for property owners.
The Intelagard system enables a fire fighter or homeowner to apply a
blanket
of foam protection and vacate to a safe area before the fire arrives
(properties protected by Intelagard are clearly marked, and firefighting
agencies are informed of the presence of the unit).  SImple instructions
and
ease of operation will allow use even by those not familiar with the unit.
Intelagard systems operate by means of stored air energy, alleviating the
need for expensive motors, generators, or other equipment that could break
down at a critical moment.  Systems are also completely indepndent from
exsisting water and power supplies, which are commonly cut or depleted in
the
event of a wildfire.  By simply opening a couple of control valves and
operating the light weight fire hose, the user can begin applying the
water
based foam within a few seconds.

Why foam instead of water?

Class A firefighting foam has proven its value in suppressing wildfire
many
times, and has gained widespread acceptance in firefighting agencies. 
Foam
is superior to water in a variety of ways.  Foam solution mixed with water
breaks down the natural surface tension of water.  This enables the water
to
stay where you put it, and to penetrate and wet flammable materials much
quicker.  Since the water is able to soak into fuels instead of sitting on
the surface or running of into the ground, there is much less lost to
evaporation in the intense heat of a wildfire.  Also, a blanket of foam
provides a cooling layer of oxygen free insulation and heat reflection. 
By
using foam, it is possible to expand the available volume of water by up
to
50 times, providing many times protection of the same amount of water. 
Foam
penetrates, cools and smothers, while water alone evaporates or runs off.
The solution used in creating the foam is environmentaly safe and
biodegradable, and won't hurt plants, animals or people.

Why nitrogen as an energy source?

Intelagard Systems are powered by compressed nitrogen because nitrogen is
readily available, harmless to the environment, and it does not support
fire
like oxygen.  The compressed nitrogen is used to expand and apply the
foam.
Thus we were able to create a simple effective and easy to use system.  As
the foam bubbles break, nitrogen is released robbing the fire of needed
oxygen.  By usung stored air energy, Intelagard systems can operate
independent from outside power and water supplies and with a minimum of
moving parts to possibly fail at a critical time.
