Barricade II
FireGel

A next-generation aerial fire suppression gel designed for direct attack wildfire operations.

Barricade II FireGel is a gel concentrate that mixes with water to create a suppression agent capable of extinguishing flames on contact rather than slowing fire spread like traditional retardants.

The gel:

Wildfire Suppression Performance

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.

Environmentally Responsible Fire Suppression

NPE-free
non-toxic
biodegradable
derived from renewable agricultural sources

Unlike traditional retardants containing ammonium phosphates, Barricade II avoids long-term environmental contamination risks affecting waterways, wildlife, and soil systems.

Barricade II FireGel received the U.S. EPA Champion Award for safer chemistry.

Compatible With Existing Aerial Firefighting Aircraft

large air tankers
SEAT aircraft
helicopter bucket systems
fixed-wing suppression aircraft

No aircraft modification or retrofit is required. The gel mixture can be deployed using the same equipment currently used for water or retardant drops.

Heli-Dip Portable
Tank Systems

support rapid helicopter bucket refilling
reduce turnaround time
improve drop frequency
support remote wildfire response locations

FireFox Wildfire Inc. deploys portable Heli-Dip tank systems that allow helicopters and aerial assets to reload closer to the fire line instead of returning to distant water source

    FAQs

    Frequently
    Asked Questions

    Over 25 Years Of Experience

    1. What is Barricade II FireGel and how does it work?

    Barricade II FireGel is an advanced fire suppression gel that, when mixed with water, forms a thick coating that clings to surfaces. It extinguishes flames on contact by cooling and smothering the fire, unlike traditional water or retardants that only slow fire spread.

    2. How is Barricade II FireGel environmentally friendly?

    The gel is non-toxic, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals like NPEs and petroleum distillates. It breaks down naturally into water over time and does not contaminate soil or waterways, making it safer for wildlife and ecosystems.

    3. Can Barricade II FireGel be used with existing firefighting aircraft?

    Yes, it is fully compatible with existing aircraft such as air tankers, helicopters, and SEATs. It requires no modifications and can be deployed using standard equipment already in use.

    4. What are Heli-Dip tank systems and how do they improve operations?

    Heli-Dip systems are portable tanks placed near fire zones that allow helicopters and aircraft to refill quickly. This reduces turnaround time, increases the number of drops per hour, and improves overall firefighting efficiency.
