What device is used to attack fires at the base of the flames?

The extendable turret is specifically designed to deliver water or firefighting foam at a distance and to reach the base of the flames effectively. This device provides the ability to adjust the angle and range of the stream, allowing firefighters to establish an effective attack on a fire while maintaining a safe distance. By directing the extinguishing agent precisely where it is needed, an extendable turret can penetrate flames and target the fuel source at the base, which is crucial for extinguishing fire efficiently and safely.

Hand-held fire extinguishers, although versatile for many situations, may not always provide the same reach or volume of agent as an extendable turret. Water cannons and foam applicators can also attack flames but may not offer the same level of precision or operational range as the turret, especially in larger or more hazardous fire environments.
