Why Use Cold Fire?
As a non-toxic, non-corrosive product it can be batch mixed directly
into booster tanks with no need to flush out lines. Its thermal
insulation capability prevents re-ignition when properly applied,
extinguishing the fire faster while using less water, reducing water
damage and water supply needs. There is no messy clean up. It is
non-slip. It has an indefinite shelf life when stored in closed
containers, booster tanks, water pressurized units or closed loop
systems, ready for use at anytime.
Cold Fire™has been tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories
in the United States and Canada. The U.S. Environmental Protection
Program has listed Cold Fire™on their Significantly New Alternative
Policy (SNAP) Program Vendor List. This list contains products that
are considered acceptable alternatives to toxic products on the
market today.
Cold Fire can be applied to wildfires by several methods:
- using engines or from pumping stations along a fire line
- by helicopters using a Bambi bucket or other approved airborne
methods.
An application of a small percentage of Cold Fire™ to water
is required, with no special equipment, training or cleanup. This
mixture can also be sprayed on structures and surrounding areas
for protection from oncoming wildfires.
Cold Fire™ has many applications beyond wildfires and structure
protection. Cold Fire™ is an excellent safety product for plumbers,
welders, mechanics, roofers and all who work with hot surfaces and
open flames.
Cold Fire has the extraordinary ability to remove extreme heat
from any object with which it comes in contact. It works to remove
the heat and hydrocarbon fuel source from the fire tetrahedron.
The suppressants in this agent use water as a catalyst to remove
the heat as well as to encapsulate and break down the hydrocarbons
in the fuel source to rapidly extinguish the fire. Cold Fire
is not only a wetting agent but a cooling agent.
Only a small percentage of this cooling agent is required when
added to water. Cold Fire is non-toxic, non-corrosive,
and environmentally safe. It has a unique thermal insulation capability
that prevents re-ignitions when properly applied. It also enhances
the penetration capability of water, thereby extinguishing fire
faster and using less water.
Cold Fire has an extraordinary effect when used to fight wildfires.
During the last few fire seasons some forests have seen application
of Cold Fire. Many rural fire departments and other non-federal
firefighting support units have applied this product to private
structures on non-federal lands thereby saving many homes from wild
fires.
It is our belief that Cold Fire , when properly used,
will reduce firestorms and help control fires. It will also protect
structures, prevent catastrophic and economically devastating forest
fires as well as establishing fire lines around controlled burns.
