Fire flapper (tool)
A flapper is a wildland firefighting tool that resembles a broom with metal bristles. It is also called a swatter or a beater. It is designed for extinguishing minor fires in rural areas such as heaths. A flapper is built with a long handle and a series of lamellas which allows firefighters to stand well back from the fire. The lamellas are constructed in either rubber or steel, though practically any other fireproof material could be used. The flapper's technique has been developed from using a wet green pine bough to swat the fire known as "wet sacking" a fire.
