Shield the Asset
Hold a directed wall of moving air between advancing heat and a transformer, control room, tank, or process unit — cooling the target and pushing the threat off it.
Private Industry and Critical Infrastructure
Protect people, infrastructure and operations.
Mutual aid is minutes away. A FIREBREAK unit is already in the yard. For a fraction of the cost of a fire engine, a facility keeps directed-airflow capability staged where the risk is — shielding critical assets, driving heat and embers off the line, and, when the air itself turns dangerous, opening a breathable corridor out. Water-independent. Supplemental to your brigade. Ready the moment it's needed.
The Problem
Fixed suppression and mutual aid both start after conditions deteriorate — and both assume water is available and that water is the right tool.
On a chemical, electrical, or process fire, or when wind pushes embers across a tank farm, those assumptions break. Every minute compounds downtime, environmental liability, regulatory exposure, and risk to people.

What It Does
Reframed for point protection and egress — not containment.
Hold a directed wall of moving air between advancing heat and a transformer, control room, tank, or process unit — cooling the target and pushing the threat off it.
Project a cone of clean air into a smoke-filled or toxic space so personnel can move toward it and follow it out. No other fire-response tool offers this.
Knock down secondary fires before they start across the site.
Air doesn't conduct, doesn't react, and leaves no contaminated runoff.
A mobile unit moves to the incident instead of waiting for the incident to reach fixed infrastructure.
Time for the brigade, for orderly shutdown, for evacuation.
The Capability No One Else Has
In a release or a heavy smoke event, the threat isn't only flame — it's the atmosphere.
FIREBREAK can project a cone of clean, breathable air into a hazardous space. Personnel move toward the cone and follow it out to safety, peeling off before the discharge. On sites where a toxic atmosphere is a credible scenario, an on-demand breathable egress path is a capability no other fire-response tool on the market provides.
When the atmosphere is the threat, FIREBREAK opens a path you can breathe.
Response Time, Effectively Zero
A fire engine is a phone call away and about a year to build. A FIREBREAK unit is a capital asset you stage on site for a fraction of that cost.
Keep it standby-ready where exposure is highest — the tank farm, the substation, the process unit, the wildland edge of the campus. The capability is already standing where the risk is.
Response time isn't minutes-to-arrival. It's effectively zero.
The unit is already on the pad where the exposure is highest — no dispatch, no drive time, no waiting for the incident to reach fixed infrastructure.
The Buyer's View
The people who buy this aren't only fire chiefs. They're EHS leaders, process-safety and risk managers, and the insurers behind them.
Every minute of uncontrolled fire raises loss exposure, environmental and regulatory liability, and business-interruption cost. On-site, water-independent capability strengthens both your emergency-preparedness posture and your risk-transfer story — a measurable reduction in exposure that a carrier can price.
A measurable reduction in exposure — one a carrier can price.
What FIREBREAK Does — and Doesn't — Claim.
FIREBREAK is a supplemental capability that works alongside your fixed systems and your fire brigade — not a replacement for either. Some applications are proven and field-demonstrated; others — large petrochemical pool fires, for example — are under evaluation, and we'll tell you plainly which is which. With buyers who can verify performance on their own site, that honesty is the whole point.
Built For
High-risk processes, hazardous materials, and surrounding assets.
Safeguard critical energy infrastructure and support rapid response.
Grid equipment defense — including nuclear generation.
A layer of protection for tank farms, terminals, and transfer points.
Safety and response in rugged, high-risk environments.
Large manufacturing, data centers, and logistics hubs.
Who signs off: process-safety and EHS directors, emergency-response managers, risk managers, and plant managers — and the insurers behind them.
Nuclear, DOE & high-consequence facilities
Because it fights fire with air, FIREBREAK cannot act as a neutron moderator and leaves no pooling or runoff to spread contamination — a safety margin for facilities that handle fissile material. (The inventor's background is Los Alamos National Laboratory.)
The Business Case
Compress the loss window and lower total-loss exposure.
A measurable exposure reduction a carrier can price.
Protect the assets that get you back online sooner.
Air-only operation avoids added chemical and runoff exposure.
Point protection plus a breathable egress path.
On-site capability with response time effectively zero.
The Advantage
Protection you stage — not a rescue you wait for.
The only response already standing where the risk is.
Frequently Asked
It's a supplemental layer, not a replacement. It adds directed-airflow point protection and an egress capability your fixed systems and crews don't have, and works alongside them.
Named high-value assets — transformers, control rooms, tanks, substations, process units — by cooling them and holding heat, flame, and embers off the target.
It projects a cone of clean, breathable air into a smoke-filled or toxic space so personnel can move toward it and follow it out. No other fire-response tool provides this.
Air doesn't conduct or react and leaves no contaminated runoff, so it can operate where water is unsafe or unavailable — as a supplement to your existing systems.
That application is under evaluation — we don't claim it as proven. We'll be specific about what's demonstrated on your fire scenarios versus what we're still testing.
On-site, water-independent capability compresses the loss window — reducing downtime, environmental and regulatory exposure, and business interruption — which strengthens both preparedness posture and how a carrier prices your risk.
