Once the proper attack points have have determined, the HERO Pipe can be set up for action in as little
as 3 minutes with a 2-man team. Apparatus mobility and the ability to run unmanned make the HERO
Pipe an important addition to any high-rise operation. Additional safety features include a control valve
and pressure gauge which are utilized to eliminate the need for standpipe operator communications.

In a situation where every second counts, the HERO Pipe enables fire departments
to save more time, effort, money, and most importantly... more lives.

SIDEWINDER
by Elkhart Brass

The addition of the Sidewinder EXM gives the

HERO Pipe the unique ability to deliver a
targeted stream via remote control, allowing the
operator to reposition the water stream with
horizontal and vertical movement.

This compact, high-flow, remote controlled

electric monitor helps to make the
first-of-its-kind HERO Pipe apparatus a true
game changer in fighting high-rise fires.
Combining quick and simple deployment of the
HERO Pipe, and the fast and easy
programming of the Sidewinder EXM, fire
departments worldwide will reduce the time it
takes fighting high-rise fires from hours to
minutes.

THERMAL IMAGING
by Bullard

The best scenario is realized by combining

the HERO Pipe with the Sidewinder EXM
articulating nozzle, and then adding the ability
to truly see the fire youre fighting through
thermal imaging. A remote command center
helps determine the hottest areas of the fire
and can even detect if chemicals are present.
This is best realized through the addition of
Bullards T4 Max camera and Digital Mobile
Command Center.

THE WORLDS FIRST

FLOOR-BELOW HIGH-RISE
MASTER STREAM SYSTEM.
High-rise fires present incredible challenges for firefighters while threatening the safety of civilians and
firefighters alike. Previously, fires located above a high-rises 12th floor required firefighters to battle
the fire either directly or from an adjacent building if possible.

The HERO Pipe is specially designed for fires that ladder companies cant reach.
With the HERO Pipe, fire departments can effectively battle a blaze from the floor
below the fire, keeping firefighters at a safe distance from the fires most dangerous
areas.
