Killing Fire with Grenades….?

Stat-X First Responder is a fire suppression unit that is similar in use to a smoke grenade. It is designed for use in building interiors, and for Military use there are a few opportunities I can think of where this can come in handy. In talking with a company rep at SHOT, they stated the Stat-X First Responder is safe for use with persons inside the room its being dispersed in. There is no oxygen depletion, instead, the materials interact with the fire on a chemical level. Their website lists “The compound is made of a patented mixture of Potassium Nitrate, Dicyandiamide, and an organic binder.”

For teams that are making entry using flash bangs or grenades, the possibility is always present of combustibles inside. The Stat-X First Responder can be deployed in a room which is in flames allowing for seizure of the room, rescue of persons, and recovery of materials. While not listed as a use by the company, it would be interesting to see what this would do for a vehicle which had been hit and was on fire.
