What kind of nozzle is best used for large, long-distance fire fighting?

A solid stream nozzle is ideal for large, long-distance fire fighting because it produces a concentrated stream of water that can maintain its momentum and reach greater distances than other types of nozzles. This is crucial in firefighting scenarios where the fire source is far from the firefighters or when it is difficult to approach the fire due to dangers or obstacles. The solid stream can penetrate dense smoke and heat layers, which helps in effectively cooling and extinguishing the fire.

In addition to its reach, a solid stream nozzle can deliver a significant amount of water to the target area, which is particularly important in large-scale fires where quick and effective application of water is necessary to control the situation. As it does not disperse the water into smaller droplets, the water in a solid stream is less affected by wind, allowing it to remain directed at the fire effectively over distance.
