HydraSpear Releases New Wildland Firefighting Tools
SaberSpear™ Wildland Firefighting Tools improve fireground operational efficiency in stubborn wildland fire areas! West Coast fires are showing once again what a combination of lightning or other ignition sources; wind, dry conditions and reduced vegetation management can produce out of control wildfires.
By using the extendable, sub-surface injection action combined with topside extinguishing ability, these SaberSpear™ tools provide new options for fighting wildland fires above and below ground nationwide. With the additional low flow nozzles, water conservation can also be achieved with these tools in one convenient assembly.
By getting valuable extinguishing agents below the ground at the root line, deep burning fires are controlled before they reach the surface to continue looking for fresh fuel and oxygen and expand quickly.
Deep layers of “duff” or flammable dead vegetation are easily penetrated by SaberSpear™ tools. We have shown that this tool system is the easiest and most versatile wildland firefighting tool option on the market today!
HydraSpear® Equipment Systems is a product line of Frontline Equipment Technologies LLC. This firefighter owned company was started in 2013 with specific customer fire equipment needs pertaining to the above ground coal (bulk) storage industry. Those sub-surface firefighting tools morphed into a line of underwater jetting tools for the marine and construction industries. There, the varying nozzle designs for moving materials using the hydraulic action of water was born.
In 2017, Frontline Equipment Technologies LLC became a partnership to help expand the tool lines and increased R&D and production capabilities. Since that time, we have developed over 30 nozzle profiles in sizes from 3/8” for maintenance work up to and including our custom 3” SuperSpear™ tools for heavy duty utility construction.
