Fighting Fires With Beams of Electricity
cylonlover writes "It's certainly an established fact that electricity can cause fires, but a group of Harvard scientists have presented their research on the use of electricity for fighting fires.

The system shows particular promise for fighting fires in enclosed quarters, such as armored trucks, planes, and submarines.'"
