<p>The invention provides a fire-fighting apparatus (100) comprising: at least one extinguishing agent module (10) for holding a supply of a fire-extinguishing agent; an operating module (20) adapted to convey the fire-extinguishing agent from one or more of said extinguishing agent modules (10) in such a manner that the extinguishing agent may be applied to a fire; and mounting means (40) for mounting the operating module (20) in combination with a variable selected number of said extinguishing agent modules (10) such that the operating module and the selected number of extinguishing agent modules combine to form a common portable unit. The mounting means (40) typically comprises a frame providing structural integrity to the unit, the frame being adjustable to accommodate the selected number of said at least one extinguishing agent module (20). The frame includes a plurality of substantially rigid elongate members (41) for releasable connection with one another, the elongate members having lengths which are variable to accommodate the selected number of extinguishing agent modules. The extinguishing agent modules (10) all have substantially the same shape and size, and comprise a container for holding a supply of the fire-extinguishing agent. The mounting means (40) includes engagement means (13) provided on each of the extinguishing agent modules (10) for engagement with the elongate frame members (41) during assembly of the apparatus (100).</p> |
