Case Study: CoolBomb achieves faster, more reliable fire location and defence deployment with what3words

Fighting fires efficiently with what3words and CoolBomb

CoolBomb is an aerosol fire‑suppression device designed to create pre‑set defence barriers for homes, industry and infrastructure. Launched to address the inefficiency of firefighting at night and in high winds, CoolBomb can be triggered remotely or autonomously and delivers a locally limited, environmentally safe blast that displaces hot air and applies fire‑retardant steam. Communication and location accuracy during bushfires is a persistent challenge for responders.

To solve that problem CoolBomb adopted what3words to pinpoint ignition points and map barrier locations. what3words’ simple, three‑word addresses work offline and are far easier to relay over radio than GPS coordinates, enabling faster, more accurate deployment by CoolBomb teams and other emergency services and improving coordination and effectiveness in protecting people and property.
