TFT Blitzfire
• The Task Force Blitzfire
is a personal portable
monitor (PPM) capable
of flows of 500+ GPM
and is easily deployed
by one firefighter.
• It is supplied by a
single 2 ½” hose, can
be pre-connected to
the apparatus, and
can be mounted on
the exterior of the rig
for rapid deployment.
• The design of the inlet
and the discharge neck
creates a downward
pressure that adds
stability to the Blitzfire.
• It has a rear pivoting
inlet that allows the
hose to stay flat to the
ground.
• The folding legs
extend outward to
provide lateral
stability.
• The discharge can be
adjusted for a low
attack angle.
• It can be secured to
the ground or another
object by using the
provided strap and
base ring.
• The operating handle
has a ratchet feature
that allows for partial
opening of the
monitor.
• Pull the handle lock
outward and pull the
handle towards you.
• It has a safety feature that
shuts off the monitor when a
sudden force (in excess of) 1G
is introduced.
• Hydraulic dampening in the
handle prevents water
hammer in the Blitzfire.
Not for extending lines
• Because of the
automatic shut-off
feature, you should
NOT extend hose lines
from the Blitzfire.
• Any force greater than
1 G will automatically
shut the Blitzfire down:
–
–

–
Laterally
From the top
Blunt force
Water hammer (from the
pump side)
Any of these will trip this
feature.
