Argo Avenger
The Argo Avenger is an eight-wheeled all terrain vehicle built by Argo. On land the vehicle is steered turning the wheels on the two sides of the vehicle at different speeds. On water the vehicle can be propelled either by the treads on the tires, or by an outboard motor. Optionally, on very loose or swampy land a pair of large band tracks can be strung over the vehicles' wheels. In November 2009 volunteers in twelve communities in Nunavut were equipped with an Argo Avenger for local search and rescue. The vehicles supplied in Nunavut will be equipped with bandtracks. The twelve communities are; Arviat, Cambridge Bay, Igloolik, Pond Inlet, Taloyoak, Rankin Inlet, Sanikiluaq, Pangnirtung, Kugluktuk, Iqaluit, Naujaat and Baker Lake.

At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. The ''flame'' is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different. Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning. Fire is an important process that affects ecological systems around the globe. The positive effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining various ecological systems. Its negative effects include hazard to life and property, atmospheric pollution, and water contamination. If fire re ...
