Supporting wildfire management agencies with Barricade II FireGel and Heli-Dip portable tank systems integrated into existing aircraft operations.
Supporting aerial wildfire suppression operations across Canada with aviation-integrated FireGel deployment systems.
FireFox Wildfire Inc. 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.
Our solutions integrate with existing air tanker fleets, helicopter bucket operations, and ground support teams without requiring aircraft modification.
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:
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.
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.
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.

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
Over 25 Years Of Experience
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.
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.
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.
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.
