Water can tame fire.
FireIce® kills it: Quickly
Efficiently
Permanently
When adding FireIce® to water in very low concentrations, it rapidly absorbs into the water to produce a fire suppression gel.
Water with FireIce® added can be used to extinguish structure fires, can be used directly on wildfires and brush fires and to establish fire breaks that aid in corralling the approaching fire. FireIce® adheres directly to the burning material to break the fire triangle by cooling and rapidly suffocating the fire. This also helps to prevent relights and reduces firefighter risk.
FireIce® has been successfully tested under UL-711. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and neither clogs nor corrodes firefighting equipment. FireIce® is the only product in the world that can be added directly into a pumper truck without damaging the pump system. It will not harden or leave any residue and when finished simply flush with water.
The effectiveness of FireIce® reduces the amount of precious water needed to stop fires thus conserving millions of gallons typically spewed from fire hoses.
Unlike other fire suppression products, FireIce® does not contain harsh chemicals that kill trees, foliage and aquatic life. FireIce® is environmentally safe, so once the fire is over it harmlessly dissolves into the ground. This reconditions the soil to enhance new plant growth in burnt areas.
