In 2010, an East Tennessee firefighter by the name of Michael Robinson saw first-hand how hot a burning building can be when he almost watched his partner die from overheating.
âWe didnât have anything to help us cool off. We had some lukewarm bottles of water, a cold towel around his neck and it could have turned out a lot different but we saved him,â said Robinson.
Shortly after that happened he decided to take matters into his own hands and create the Heatseeker H2O, which acts as a nozzle you hook up to a fire engine that provides a cool mist to help first responders cool off.
Robinson said with about 70 pounds of gear, and extreme heat, the elements can âliterally cook our bodyâ while responding to fires. The mist provided by the Heatseeker H2O can cool a first responder off as much as 30 degrees.
