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.
