MURER-Feuerschutz GmbH is a German company that provides consultancy services in the field of fire prevention and extinguishing. At the same time, it sells equipment and products used by firefighters and rescuers in their interventions, whether we are talking about fires, floods, technical rescues and / or from heights, being the distributor of about 100 well-known manufacturers on the market. Last but not least, Murer directly offers warranty and post-warranty service for a significant number of products sold.
But what really distinguishes the company MURER is its own product, the E-extinguishing lance, destined to extinguish fires of the LI-ion batteries on the electric vehicles. As is known, in addition to the advantages they present, electric vehicles also have a neuralgic point: the increased risk of fire presented by the multitude of Li-ion cells in the batteries of these vehicles, doubled by the risk of rekindling, the cascading ignition effect being generated by certain peculiarities of the Li-ion technology. The extinguishing of this type of fire constantly preoccupies the specialists, the interventions being much more difficult – due to the atypical character of the manifestation of the fire – than those of the vehicles with thermal engine.
MURER has patented a dedicated solution, which is based on piercing the car floor with a lance – most electric vehicles having their batteries positioned in this place – thus sticking a nozzle directly into the battery, through which the extinguishing agent will be discharged, brought into the body of the lance through a hose connected to an external source.
