The frame 14 includes engagement means in order for a lifting mechanism of a transportation means to be engaged with the housing 14 in order to transport the unit. The unit has heat detection tube 24 at the bottom 18 of the frame 14 and automatically actuates the unit 10 when it nears the fire. The unit 10 has at least one outlet nozzle 30 through which the fire extinguishing medium is expelled downwardly. The unit 10 is engageable with transportation means such that the fire extinguishing unit 10 is transportable to a location above a fire such that heat from the fire activates the heat detection means 24 in order to activate the valve to expel the fire extinguishing medium through the outlet nozzle 30 downwardly towards the fire.</p> |
