""They use infrared technology to detect flames that starts off a trigger to start the sound waves. We vibrate the oxygen at a rate the fire can't consume it and breaks the chemical reaction," said Ryan Remington, a developer with the company."
"The system is currently being designed for use inside homes as an alternative to traditional sprinklers."
"Developers hope it can eventually be adapted for outdoor use to help prevent the spread of wildfires or assist firefighters in the field."
The San Bernardino County Fire Department is testing an innovative firefighting system that utilizes sound waves to extinguish flames. Developed by Sonic Fire Tech, this technology employs infrared sensors to detect fires and trigger sound waves that disrupt the combustion process. The system is designed for indoor use as an alternative to traditional sprinklers, with hopes of adapting it for outdoor applications to combat wildfires and assist firefighters in the field.
