As an abrupt disaster, fires pose a severe threat to people's lives and property. Statistics indicate that fires cause direct economic losses exceeding hundreds of billions of dollars globally each year, with over 30% of these losses stemming from fire spread due to the limited mobility and poor adaptability of traditional firefighting equipment.   Particularly in complex environments such as forests, underground spaces, and industrial settings, traditional water cannons struggle to respond swiftly due to their bulky size, limited range, and heavy reliance on water sources.

As a novel firefighting tool, the flexible water cannon has become an essential supplement to modern firefighting systems due to its lightweight design, flexible operation, and multi-functional spray modes. For instance, during the 2025 Yajiang Forest Fire, flexible water cannons rapidly established firebreaks, effectively preventing the fire from spreading to residential areas. This technological innovation not only enhances firefighting efficiency but also reduces operational risks for rescue personnel.

The flexible water cannon is a large-capacity portable firefighting device made of flexible materials that can be folded for storage. It includes components such as a backpack-style water bladder, high-pressure hose, manual/electric dual-mode water cannon, and multi-functional nozzle. Designed to address initial fire suppression in forests, grasslands, and urban areas, it offers excellent adaptability and mobility in complex terrain and confined spaces.

This device features a 22L water tank capacityand weighs just 2.34kg when empty, reaching only 22.45kg when fully loaded—making it lightweight and portable. It supports three spray modes: direct, fan, and mist, allowing flexible switching based on needs. Performance-wise, it delivers a manual spray distance of ≥12 meters and an electric spray distance of ≥11 meters. Equipped with a 12000mAh battery, it offers ≥2.5 hours of usage time for robust endurance.

During a forest fire, firefighters employed backpack-mounted flexible water cannons for fire suppression operations. The cannons' large-capacity water tanks and powerful spray force enabled them to swiftly extinguish initial fires in complex terrain and control the spread of flames. By adjusting nozzle patterns, firefighters flexibly addressed different fire sources, effectively safeguarding forest resources and the safety of surrounding residents.

The high-capacity water tank and multiple spray modes of the flexible water cannon enable rapid flame suppression, fire containment, and temperature reduction at fire scenes. Its lightweight design facilitates agile maneuverability for firefighters in complex terrain and confined spaces, enhancing rescue efficiency. The device's rapid fire suppression and flexible operation capabilities create a safer working environment for firefighters, reducing the risk of casualties.
