Forest Fires and Wild Fires

Flamblocker CF7
The ultimate environmental friendly, PFAS-free solution for Forest and Wild Fires.

Flamblocker CF7 is already used as a fire fighting agent for forest and wild fires in various countries worldwide.
Deployed as an additive to the fire trucks and rescue vehicles, Flamblocker CF7 in it’s pure form is a proven and efficient product for cooling and extinguishing a forest or wild fire and prevents a restart of a fire for several days due to it's longterm colling effect after deployement.

Flamblocker CF7 is 100% bio-degradable and is NON-toxic and NON-corrosive. Within 21 days after deployment, Flamblocker CF7 is fully disintegrated and leaves no residue in the vulnerable environment. Flamblocker CF7 is PFAS free

Flamblocker CF7 can be used with fresh water from rivers, springs and drinking water but can also be used with seawater. Proven during operatinal tests, Flamblocker CF7 has proven that the type of water has no influence on the efficiency or effects of the CF7 extinguishing and cooling capabilities.

Flamblocker CF7 as Fire-Stop (StopLine) solution

Creating a fire stop at a forest fire is often one of the first actions to be taken.
By spraying Flamblocker CF with water onto the surface of the unaffected terrain, the treated terrain will be protected and pre-cooled as the CF7 penetrates the ground and settles in the earth and materials and maintains it’s cooling capabilities even if the water is evaporated due to ambient temperatures. By spraying the external boundaries of a forest fire, the expansion of the forest fire both at top side and withing the ground can be stopped.

Flamblocker CF7 as primary firefighting agents for forest and wild fires

When the stop-line is created using CF7, a full and orchestrated attack of the forest fire can commence. Using standard equipment water hoses/Water lines with the CF7 additive to spray up high, creating a full mist of CF7 on the trees and vegetation that has not caught fire yet will create a safer situation to advance towards the burn area. As the unaffected (not burning) woodland is sprayed with water and CF7, the risk of this area bursting into flames due to the propagation of the forest fire is significantly reduced, resulting in a safer working environment for the fire fighters.

 

When the unaffected woodland/area is pre-treated and safe to enter, the full-scale attack on the raging forest fire can commence. Water with CF7 added to the mixture can be deployed onto the burning woodlands and the extreme cooling effect of Flamblocker CF7 will reduce and stop the fire fast and (cost) efficient the open fires are cooled and as CF7 remains active after the water has evaporated, the fire will yield.

Environmental impact

Flamblocker CF7 is certified eco-friendly and  certified 100% biodegradable, is PFAS-Free, is non-toxic and non-corrosive.
As such, the product has zero to minimal ecological and environmental impact during deployment and after deployment.

Flamblocker CF7 as personal protection for fire fighters

One of the worst situation for a fire fighter is getting closed in by a raging forest fire.
A sudden change of wind can turn a controlled situation into an immediate threat to the lives of the firemen and women when they can get closed in by the fire.

Flamblocker CF7 is also available in 200ml and 500ml spray cans and can be worn as part of the fire fighting outfit. When getting closed-in by the forest fire, extraction is often difficult or even impossible. Simply spray the 200ml or 500ml spray can with CF7 all over the fire fighting uniform and switch to the oxygen masks and the closed-in fire fighters can walk through the burning forest as the Flamblocker CF7 cools the surface of the fire fighting uniforms, protecting the fire fighters from the extreme heat by cooling the surface of the uniform.

Additional deployement models Flamblocker CF7

Aside from the standard deployemnt of Flamblocker CF7 via regular fire-trucks and standard waterlines/waterhoses, Flamblocker CF7 provides additional models of deployement, an overview of options;

Bambi-Bucket
Depending on the situation, Flamblocker CF7 can be added to Bambi buckets on-site or at water intake areas.

DRONE

Flamblocker is currently working together with a large drone manufacturer to enable the deployment of 3 single, 400 kilo lifting capacity, twin turbine, A1 jet fuel operated drones that can work solo or in a swarm

This drone has a net lifting capacity of 400 kilo and as an operational window of 3 to 5 hours on 1 fuel tank. With the deployment of this drone, difficult to reach areas can easily be reached with bambi buckets and the drone can even be utilized to airlift fire fighters in or out of these difficult to reach areas. Part of the ongoing development is the adaptation of airlifting equipment onto the drone and the development of a water line connection onto the drone to enable continues supply of water and CF7 to the affected area.

The drone can also be used to evacuate people from dangerous areas and high-rises and uage as fire fighting system for high-rise buildings.
