Abstract: A control system for use with a fire-fighting device connected to a pump includes a user interface configured to receive a user-requested parameter of fluid, and a base component in communication with the user interface. The base component includes a programmable logic controller having predefined logic stored thereon. The base component automatically controls operation of the pump based on the predefined logic, the user-requested parameter of fluid, and at least two of: a first actuation state of a first valve configured to control a first flow of liquid from a storage tank at the fire-fighting device, a second actuation state of a second valve configured to control a second flow of liquid from a remote water source, a third actuation state of a third valve configured to control a third flow of liquid to a nozzle, a volume of water stored at the storage tank, and a water pressure associated with the remote water source.

Abstract: A fire-fighting system includes a base component, a nozzle located remote from the base component, and a locator component mounted to the nozzle. The locator component is communicatively coupleable to the base component, and includes a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive signals from the base component, and a locator beacon including a visually-perceptible output device. The locator component is configured to activate the locator beacon in response to an activation signal received from the base component.
