Mobilization

Our firefighting units can be en route to any scene within North America within 2 hours of notification. Once in the field, the Quintech teams are ready for extended deployment.

Equipment

The Quintech teams are fully equipped with NWCG Specification Type 2 Engines fitted with:

• Pump & roll capabilties.
• 500-gallon poly water tank.
• 625 gpm pumps capable of 530 gpm @100 psi.
• Standard Fire Department connections on both inlet and outlet forestry adaptors.
• Fully equipped trauma kit.
• 4 KW Generators.
• Barricade Fire Blocking Gel equipped.

They were assigned a variety of tasks including: working on the fire line, to triaging threatened areas for future operational options, to public education in the areas of our community that were under evacuation alert.

The Quintech crews were very professional and disciplined... all around great guys. Darren Hutchinson was a great resource to our command staff when it came to triaging and introducing us to the benefits of gel in wildland applications."
