The cutting extinguisher is a tool that can be used both to penetrate different constructions and fighting fires. The equipment is meant to work as a complement to traditional smoke diving. The cutting extinguisher is supposed to have the power to extinguish fires in the early stage or lower the temperature in a room enough to make the work environment considerably better for the firemen. The rescue service in the municipality of Piteå is considering an investment in a cutting extinguisher for their fire station in Piteå. The purpose of the report is to provide a basis for a decision on a possible purchase of a cutting extinguisher to the rescue service in Piteå. Issues about function, costs and how the cutting extinguisher is used will be discussed. Information about the cutting extinguisher has been collected from literature and the manufacturer.
