When a fire starts or extends into a confined space such as an attic or basement. Many departments all over the country enter that space through scuttle doors or pull ceiling and advance nozzles into the area. With much thought to firefighter safety and extinguishment, the AFAST GROUP was born. Our system allows departments to use less water and keep the firefighter safe from entering a confined space.
