Abstract
Recently, Cutting Extinguishers have been commissioned and evaluated by several navies. Today used as an enhanced firefighting tool at initial firefighting, for redundancy in case of breached fixed installed systems, as well as equivalents, the use of Cutting Extinguishers are expected to broaden in coming years.
What possibilities and obstacles have the Cutting Extinguisher, as an innovative firefighting tool, brought along when it comes to method, traditional doctrines and standard operating procedures? If introduced efficiently, what additional value, apart from safe, efficient and effective firefighting, have the organization experienced from the integration of the Cutting Extinguisher?
