🚁 Water wherever and whenever you want.

Meet the : a compact skid unit that moves by pickup on the ground, and by helicopter in the air — reaching places trucks simply can’t.

✅ Up to 3,000 L — 6x more capacity than a traditional skid unit
✅ Just 415 kg empty, fully helitransportable
✅ Operational in under 5 minutes
✅ Refillable by air or by suction (hydrant, river, lake, truck)
✅ High-performance pump: 397 l/min, 28.8 bar

When the ground can’t take you there, Heliskid flies in.

🔥 Behind every contained wildfire, there are people.

Wildland firefighters, specialized crews, environmental rangers, air crews, and rescue teams holding the front line — across Europe, the Americas, and beyond.

2026 is shaping up to be one of the toughest seasons in years. Swipe to see why their work makes all the difference. ➡️

🔥 Portable fire pumps: which one is right for your operation?

Weight, pressure, and flow are the three variables that decide which pump you need in the field — and the answer isn't always the same.

In our new article, we break down:
✅ Lightweight vs. Mediumweight ranges
✅ Choosing 2, 3, or 4 stages by elevation and hoselay length
✅ The pump one firefighter can carry solo (just 9.5 kg!)
✅ How to match the configuration to your maneuver

The view from underneath the aircraft.

Watch the Water Hog dip, fill, and discharge. All from a 360° camera mounted right below the helicopter.

This is aerial firefighting from a perspective you don't usually get to see👇.

Thank you, Smart Firefighting, for having us on, alongside Kevin Sofen and the Darley team.

Great to see Scott A Reimann capturing it so well. The Gorgui, the backpack pump, and the ground tanks, all described just right.

Scott Reimann of vallfirest breaks down the gear wildland firefighters actually asked for: a multi-tool that covers two thirds of the fire line, a backpack pump built around real body mechanics, and inflatable tanks that hold 18,000 gallons yet pack into a case the size of a desk.

Best moment of the episode: nobody likes carrying five gallons of water on their back, so build gear that makes it suck a little less.

Fight the flame, or get ahead of it?

That's the call every Incident Commander makes, every time: direct attack works the fire's edge: fast, safe, efficient. Indirect attack builds a line ahead of it: the only option when a front is too fast or too intense to approach.

Most fires need both, at the same time, on different flanks.

This is what teamwork on the fireline looks like. 🔥💧

The vft PRO and Fire Line Backpack Pumps keep the water line moving, while the Gorgui Classic clears the fuel — cutting, digging and dragging with a single tool.

No wasted trips. No extra gear. Just a crew working in sync.

Some emergencies happen where trucks can't go. 🔥

The Dronster is our remote-controlled, multi-emergency robot — built to handle wildfires, chemical risk, structural fires and forest management, all with one machine.

Its front, rear and top couplings let it switch tools depending on the job: a brush chopper to clear vegetation, a winch to pull and recover, a monitor to fight fire from a safe distance, or a stretcher to help evacuate the injured.

One robot, many missions. 🤖

North America is battling wildfires on two fronts at once. 🔥

Canada: National Preparedness Level 4, 850+ active fires, and a single blaze in Ontario that's already the largest in the province's history.

The U.S.: national resources fully committed, with dozens of large fires from Oregon to California.

Same story everywhere: once a fire is beyond control, it stops being a tactical problem and becomes a matter of time and luck.
