A groundbreaking fire retardant to prevent the spread of large-scale wildfires, the Wildfire Blocker.
When sprayed, released, or dispersed from the air, this fire retardant liquid can protect 2000 m³ from burning with just 1 ton.
Wildfires and large-scale fires are increasing year by year around the world, and their scale is expanding and becoming more prolonged. Due to global warming and climate change, abnormal droughts and unusual dryness caused by insufficient rainfall are occurring, leading to fires igniting from the friction of dry leaves, which then spread to flowers and trees, gaining momentum and starting to burn, thereby expanding their scale by consuming various materials. Typically, the rate of spread is 4 to 7 kilometers per hour, but when strong winds or large-scale fires occur, it can be easily influenced by the wind, reaching speeds of 10 to 15 kilometers per hour on slopes or inclines. The rapid spread is mainly due to the burning of the tips of trees. Because the area of spread is wide and the speed is fast, it can spread faster than firefighting efforts, resulting in a larger scale. Firefighting activities for wildfires are conducted through aerial water drops from helicopters and airplanes, as well as ground firefighting efforts using fire trucks. However, due to changes in wind direction and speed, it is extremely difficult to stop large-scale fires. When vegetation is burned by wildfires, it affects not only the ecosystem but also the environment. If wildfires and large-scale fires are not prevented from spreading at an early stage, they can expand extensively, causing significant damage not only to forests but also to homes. To prevent the spread of fires in advance, a fire retardant called Wildfire Blocker, developed with unique technology, can be effective.
