Why Fire Departments Like Cold Fire
First Responder Safety Public Safety Environmental Safety
Cold Fire® is a unique fire suppressant product that should be available in all fire emergencies. Because Cold Fire® absorbs 10 times the BTUs of water and has 6 times the penetrating capability, it allows, for example, a fire fighter to enter and exit a structure much quicker, stay cooler, and to knock down the fire much faster while using 65% less water and no re-igniting. Another important feature, from a safety perspective, is the fact that Cold Fire® is also a thermal barrier product, i.e., it provides a barrier from heat such that it can be applied to skin, clothing, or other objects/surfaces and will prevent heat from penetrating the surface. As well as its unique ability to rapidly cool objects and remove heat from a fire.
Here are the main reasons why many departments are switching exclusively to Cold Fire: Cost Savings!
- Cold Fire eliminates your need to carry any other foams as it will extinguish Class A, B, D, & K as well as E85/95 & Alcohol fuels. (cost savings)
- Excellent on Wildland fires as well- NFS docs available. Really helps extend your water in remote areas…
- Cold Fire has an indefinite shelf-life. Never throw away unused/expired product. (cost savings)
- Cold Fire can be batch mixed without any agitation directly in pumper tanks. It can also be used in High Pressure Systems, CAF Systems, and Propacks. It is Non-Corrosive and can be left in your tanks, there is no need to flush out tanks or hoses. (cost, labor, and equipment wear savings)

- Cold Fire Removes the Heat from fires very quickly reducing heat exhaustion as well as providing a very unique thermal barrier protection to objects/persons it is applied to helping to prevent burns.

“In my 27 years of fire-fighting, no fire-fighting product has impressed me as much as yours. Cold Fire lives up to, if not exceeds, all that was advertised… I feel that Cold Fire will definitely improve our fire-fighting and reduce injuries to our members. This is a product that we will be using more and more in the future.”
