SAFE AND SECURE.WITH OR WITHOUT A SILL.EVEN IN BUILDINGS WITHOUT A WINDOW SILL, THE SYSTEM SECURES DIRECTLY ON THE FLOOR USING THE HYDRAULIC STABILIZERS.
Works from the exterior on nearly any type of building construction or height.Delivers large volumes of water from an unmanned waterway.The HEROPipes floor below design gives teams a safer option to neutralize hazardous material incidents from the floor below.
This simple and effective tool enhances current tactics, and reduces life threatening situations, by providing greater protection to firefighters and civilians in dangerous high-rise incidents.

SIDEWINDER EXMCompact, electric remote controlled monitor capable of 700GPM @ 80psi
QUICK CONNECT COUPLERFast and Easy Adaptability
Once the proper attack points have have determined, the HEROPipe System can be set up for action in as little as 3 minutes with a 2-man team. Apparatus mobility and the ability to run unmanned make the HEROPipe an important addition to any high-rise operation. Additional safety features include a control valve and pressure gauge which are utilized to eliminate the need for standpipe operator communications.
In a situation where every second counts, the HEROPipe System enables fire departments to save more time, effort, money, and most importantly... more lives.
RISE ABOVE WITH A SECURE PARTNER
The addition of the Sidewinder EXM gives the HEROPipe System the unique ability to deliver a targeted stream via remote control, allowing the operator to reposition the water stream with horizontal and vertical movement.
This compact, high-flow, remote controlled electric monitor helps to make the first-of-its-kind HEROPipe apparatus a true game changer in fighting high-rise fires. Combining quick and simple deployment of the HEROPipe, and the fast and easy programming of the Sidewinder EXM, fire departments worldwide will reduce the time it takes fighting high-rise fires from hours to minutes.
The best scenario is realized by combining the HEROPipe System with the Sidewinder EXM articulating nozzle, and then adding the ability to truly see the fire youre fighting through thermal imaging. A remote command center helps determine the hottest areas of the fire and can even detect if chemicals are present. This is best realized through the addition of Bullards T4 Max camera and Digital Mobile Command Center.

THE WORLDS FIRST FLOOR-BELOW HIGH-RISE MASTER STREAM SYSTEM.High-rise fires present incredible challenges for firefighters while threatening the safety of civilians and firefighters alike. Previously, fires located above a high-rises 12th floor required firefighters to battle the fire either directly or from an adjacent building if possible.
The HEROPipe System is specially designed for fires that ladder companies cant reach. With the HEROPipe, fire departments can effectively battle a blaze from the floor below the fire, keeping firefighters at a safe distance from the fires most dangerous areas.
