Firefox Wildfire International works directly with wildfire management agencies and aerial firefighting operators to enhance suppression and prevention capabilities using Barricade II FireGel and portable Heli-Dip tank systems.
Designed for immediate deployment, our technology integrates seamlessly with your existing aerial and ground suppression assets without structural changes to the fleet.
Barricade II FireGel has been deployed extensively in aerial wildfire suppression operations, including successful direct-attack application on a Category-5 wildfire in British Columbia.
Fire officials reported strong suppression performance during large-scale wildfire response deployments involving tens of thousands of hectares.
