FALLS, Ore., May 17, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Wildfire Water Solutions (WWS) announces a
high-volume water network for the ultimate wildland firefighting
tool. The system incorporates both suppression tactics as well as
continuous water conveyance in the effort to save lives and prevent
property damage.
"We provide critical water networks and technology designed to
confront catastrophic wildfire," says Mike
Echols, CEO, Wildfire Water Solutions. "We have built our
systems with the knowledge of longtime wildfire incident
commanders, wildfire professionals, and water logistics experts to
create a safe and effective solution."
The WWS system includes:
- Scalable high-volume water networks. WWS can move up to
300,000 gallons of water per hour in a continuous, uninterrupted
stream. Fully automated transfer pumps can carry water to the fire
from up to 75 miles away from its source.
- Massive storage/Small footprint. Mobile storage tanks
with 2,000 to 3 million gallons of capacity and "Tac Tanks," with
capacity of up to 20 thousand gallons, offer versatility and
reliability to keep the water flowing.
- Rapid deployment to remote locations. Tactical, rapid
deployment systems can reach remote and rugged terrain. Water
distribution networks can be deployed during a wildland fire
emergency and can be fully operational in under 8 hours depending
on location.
- Automated delivery under pressure. Proprietary
AquaView® network allows for real-time, 24/7 monitoring
and precise control of water delivery. Advanced engineering,
mapping, and leak detection systems ensure efficient management and
rapid response to potential issues.
- Sustainability. Access to a continuous water supply
chain reduces the environmental footprint. WWS systems actively
monitor pressure throughout the system to proactively mitigate
leaks and can collect and reuse water limiting drawdown on the
original source.
- Commitment to safety. A series of pumps deliver enormous
water volume to the fire zones with unparalleled reliability,
safety, and efficiency. Continuous monitoring helps ensure a
seamless operation.
WWS revolutionizes and enhances current wildland fire
suppression and prevention resources while reducing risk to first
responders, increasing public safety, and protecting public and
private property and assets.
Decades of Experience
WWS is a joint venture with an
industry leading provider of innovative, efficient, and sustainable
water management solutions for industrial users nationwide. This
technology stores, treats, and delivers billions of gallons of
water to hundreds of project locations every day. WWS uses these

Building and Maintaining Fire Resistant Landscapes
In
addition to fighting wildland fire, WWS works with communities,
municipalities, utilities, agricultural, and recreation areas to
mitigate the risk of fire and protect life and property through
pre-positioned storage tanks and preventative protection
systems.
"Our scalable systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing
infrastructure, structural, and wildland fire operations," Echols
says.
