Very interesting. I am not a firefighter so I never realized the full versatility and usefulness of the pressurised water can as an integral part of the professional firefighting process. . It's truly an important tool to have on hand.

They can knock down a surprising amount of fire when utilized properly, however it should never be relied upon to save you when shit goes south. It should always be backed up by an attack line close by, or being pulled simultaneously as the search is beginning.

@@hosedragger-204 NO!!!!! The CAN is not used as a suppression tool. The CAN is used by truck companies who need to buy time after locating a fire where the engine has yet to put lines into operation. The CAN is absolutely designed to get you out of a bad situation when things go "south"!!!!

FDNY Truck Companies have one of their firefighters assigned as a "Can Man" because they are often inside, searching for victims before the Engine Companies have attack lines stretched. They can accomplish quite a lot of utilized properly, and are very useful for searching on the floor immediately, above the fire floor. They aren't designed to be a primary means of extinguishment, but can get the team out of some potentially, bad situations.

I'm out on that leg drag bs. Not for use in real fire scenarios. Great for use in wide open halls with concrete floors with no clutter. I'll stick with what works.

I guess it depends on your departments circumstances but you gotta ask why would I be going into a smoked filled environment with a water can to search… You’re either going to hit a fire or you’re going with a hose.
