IMPULSE STORM

On 26 March 2025, the State Fire Academy of Finland did what no one in the world had done before. It took a certified product of the global market leader off the shelf. Placed it inside a test chamber, with calibrated instruments. Activated it. Recorded everything. Carbon monoxide — 6.7 times above the threshold of… Подробнее

Every fixed fire suppression system on oil storage tanks worldwide failed in March 2026. Every single one. As always. Iranian drones struck fuel storage facilities across six GCC countries. Not one manufacturer has published a success report. The silence is deafening. Here’s what the brochures never told you: 70% of foam from mobile monitors never… Подробнее

The purpose of this article is not to ban the technology, but to achieve transparent and reliable certification rules in an industry where human lives are at stake. Five independent government test reports — ETC Report 2020040 (USA/PHMSA, RFQ 693JK320Q0004), «Maritime Evaluation of Aerosol Fire Knock Down Tools, Part 2» (University of Waterloo, Canada/DRDC), MAIB… Подробнее

Over the past 30 days (February–March 2026), more than 60 incidents have been recorded worldwide involving the complete or near-complete destruction of fuel storage tanks with capacities ranging from 5,000 to 75,000 tons. Hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of fuel have burned. The environmental and economic damage amounts to billions of dollars.Virtually all affected… Подробнее

Note on the source: This text is my analytical summary based on the independent review article by engineer-researcher Robert Śliwiński (Scientific and Research Centre for Fire Protection – National Research Institute, CNBOP-PIB, Poland), published in Safety & Fire Technology, Vol. 66, No. 2 (2025), pp. 146–167: “Condensed Aerosol Generators in Fire Safety of Buildings. Part… Подробнее

For a long time, medicine also relied on what was “approved,” “certified,” and “commonly used.” Then evidence-based medicine emerged. The term is associated with the McMaster school and became established in the early 1990s through professional medical publications. The principle was simple and uncompromising: if a method is sold as treatment, evidence of effectiveness and… Подробнее

Evolution of Aerosol Fire Suppression: Comparative Technical Analysis of Pressed-Powder Technologies and the RadEX Material Platform (2025) Based on the official protocol of the State Finnish Fire Academy (Pelastusopisto), PeODno 2025-133, and other formal evaluations Disclaimer This publication, the creation of the RadEX prototype, and the related testing activities have no commercial purpose and no… Подробнее

1. Introduction Condensed aerosol fire suppression systems are increasingly presented as efficient and compact alternatives to traditional gas or powder extinguishing technologies. Yet a detailed review of the certification chain shows a critical weakness: certification ensures conformity only for the component prior to installation. Once installed, the system as a whole ceases to fall under… Подробнее

Hidden risks in everyday buildings For decades, aerosol fire suppression systems have been promoted as a “revolutionary” technology. They are installed in banks, data centers, ships, metro stations, and office buildings. But official investigations and court cases raise serious concerns about their safety when used in enclosed spaces. Documented incidents Technical findings Independent investigations and… Подробнее

On June 6, 2025, a patent was officially granted for a method for producing aerosol-forming fire extinguishing composition. This is not a modification or an alternative to existing solutions — it is an entirely different technological platform. It replaces the obsolete Soviet-based condensed aerosol technology, which still underpins all current products despite their well-documented issues… Подробнее
