WHY BARRICADE GEL FOR WILDFIRES

● Hundreds of thousands of gallons of Barricade have been dropped on wildfires from
aircrafts with superior wildland suppressing results
● Barricade is a more effective fire extinguishing agent than retardant or plain water
● Barricade is less expensive than retardant
● Barricade is much safer for the environment. Retardants have negative impacts on the
environment
● Barricade is easier to store, maintain and mix for aerial operations
● Barricade is approved by the US Forest Service to be used in Single Engine Air Tankers
(SEATs), helicopters using buckets and firefighters on the ground using fire engines

Barricade ® II is the first liquid fire gel concentrate(LC) that has been approved for use by the Forest Service that does not contain toxic chemical additives known as Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs) and petroleum distillate oils.

  • NPE-Free Barricade® II Fire Gel Retardant is available in quantities up to 275-Gallon totes. Barricade® II is generally used in aerial applications at concentrate/water mixes of 1% and lower.  Therefore, 275 gallons of the LC will produce at least 27,500 gallons of fire suppressant/retardant.
  • Barricade® II is effective in both direct attack and retardant
    situations.  Barricade® II LC can be mixed with water in standard SEAT support trailer equipment, batch mixed, or by eduction.
  • Experience has shown that application of Barricade Fire Gel Retardant to valuable infrastructure is warranted during wildfires. Bridges, roadside railings, power poles, etc. can be protected to ensure exit routes for fire crews.
