Abstract: A firefighting apparatus can include a system that applies a fire retardant material to provide a temporary fireproof and/or fire retardant coating to vegetation, structures and/or flammable materials. The apparatus can include a high capacity tank with an integral, internal agitator to mix liquid therein with a fire retardant polymer, such as a superabsorbent polymer, to produce a fire retardant coating material. The apparatus can include an upper deck to store bales of polymer and an access panel to load bales into the tank for continuous production of the coating material. Primary and secondary pumps can selectively pump the coating material in stationary and/or moving modes. The apparatus can be NFPA 1901 compliant, and can operate as a fire truck or vehicle. Optionally, the system can include a venturi to mix the polymer with liquid to produce the coating material. Related methods of use are provided.

Abstract: Example systems and methods are provided to effectively manage a large number of patients by prioritizing treatments to the patients. The example system provides the triage of multiple patient data with weightings. The system further provides a treatment regimen suitable for a diagnosed disease and an incentive option for a healthcare practitioner that enrolls a patient to the regimen and the patient who complies with the regimen.
