Field Tests of FireIce® - Fire Suppression Gel

CASE STUDY

In field tests, firefighters in the Northeast have used FireIce® in controlled burns, adding FireIce® to their pumper trucks—and the firefighters are VERY protective of their firefighting equipment. Only the best will do, and FireIce® is the best—it doesn’t harm the firefighting equipment or hoses and can be rinsed out just using water. No lumpy, hard residue, no toxic or oily after product.

Ronald L. Gerry is a 45-year veteran New York firefighter, who said he "watched in amazement" at the demonstrations of FireIce’s effectiveness, when a pan was filled with gasoline, then ignited and a fire extinguisher with FireIce® added was used to put out the fire.

"The flames were quickly suppressed when sprayed with the pressurized water can," Mr. Gerry wrote, "but even more incredible was the gasoline would not re-ignite even as firefighters tried to do so with a torch…I believe that this product will revolutionize the fire industry and will undoubtedly save many lives in the future."

REAL TESTIMONIALS
"On June 22, 2006 Captain Wyche (currently 2nd Assistant Chief) arranged to have your team from GelTech come to the Medford Fire Department in Medford, NY to conduct a ‘demonstration burn’ to show the capabilities of FireIce®. I was the pump operator for your demonstration of FireIce®, which was dispensed via one of our engines (5-14-13, a pump truck), to extinguish and show your products’ abilities on a car fire... Not only did the product perform very well, but the compatibility with our equipment was fantastic. FireIce® was easy to mix and apply and did not harm or clog the pump system in the truck that was used... and we look forward to the opportunity of using it in the near future." Henry Pinto, Jr. Medford Fire Department Medford, NY		"Our current evaluations of FireIce® look extremely promising for a product that does not require any special equipment or training to mix or apply and it doesn't reduce the suppression ability of the engine. FireIce® has significant force multiplication factors of being able to turn 5 engines into 10 engines and allow us to proactively and effectively protect more homes. I think that FireIce® could potentially help everybody protect their house from wildfires." Chief Coleman Intermountain Fire-Rescue Station 95 Ramona, CA		"We're excited to be the first company to offer FireIce® to Southern California, where fires are frequently devastating. Our firefighters apply FireIce® to the home and surrounding property so the flames, heat, and embers won't ignite the structure. Having researched and tested other gels on the market, FireIce® is the most environmentally friendly, reliable and effective retardant available." Don Green, Fire-Pro USA, Operations Director Fallbrook, CA
