The CO2 tender is used to combat fires where water or other extinguishing agents are unsuitable. Key examples of these are electrical fires and shipboard fires. In these situations, CO2 extinguishers are often used, but this tender can supply a large quantity of CO2 via a hoseline similar to a ‘first-aid’ reel located on most fire appliances. In some situations, such as underground electrical substations, connections on buildings or access panels on the street exist where CO2 can be pumped through fixed piping similar to a booster system.
