VIDEO: The San Bernardino County Fire Department tested new technology on Monday designed to help suppress fires by using sound waves. The live demonstration, which was conducted with Sonic Fire Tech, showcased the cutting-edge system that was developed by former NASA acoustics engineers.

“This technology works without water or chemicals, creating a protective zone that can stop ignition in milliseconds while avoiding the collateral damage often seen with traditional suppression methods,” a news release from SBCoFD said. “From autonomous early detection to rapid suppression, tools like these have the potential to reduce fire damage before it starts, especially in wildfire-prone areas.”

Remington Hotchkis, the Chief Commercialization Officer for Sonic Fire Tech, said that all fires need oxygen to burn, and that their technology breaks it up instead of completely removing it, which could end up being dangerous.

“We vibrate the oxygen at a rate where fire can’t consume it, and it breaks the chemical reaction,” Hotchkis said. “We use infrasound, which are sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear.” Firefighters said that the technology can also be applied inside homes and businesses and could help stop fires like kitchen or appliance fires in their earliest stages.

PHOTOS: Five homes were destroyed, and multiple people were displaced after a massive fire broke out in Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield neighborhood Sunday afternoon.

Allegheny County dispatchers first confirmed to Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 that officials were on the scene within the 4500 block of Penn Avenue following reports of a fire just before 4 p.m. The fire appeared to have broken out inside a home near Children’s Hospital.

Photos and videos from the scene showed large amounts of smoke and heavy flames. The assistant fire chief on scene said the fire was a 3-alarm and damaged at least five row houses connected to one another. It appeared construction was being done on at least one of the homes.

“You’ll notice the primary fire building, and you’ll notice the other buildings directly adjacent,” Assistant Fire Chief for the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire, Brian Kokkila, said. “They’re touching, they’re physically touching. The wind and the rapid-fire development led to the expansion to five total buildings.”
