The urgency of fighting wildfires

Wildfires are becoming more frequent, intense, and unpredictable, often spreading rapidly within minutes. Early, decisive action is crucial to limit fire growth and minimize destruction. However, firefighters frequently struggle to secure sufficient water in remote, rugged, and mountainous regions, where conventional fire trucks and tankers fall short. Having quick access to a high-capacity water supply nearby is essential to protect communities, critical infrastructure, and natural environments, ensuring faster, more effective wildfire suppression.

Continuous, nearby water supply in remote locations

Hytrans leverages hydraulically driven pumps to create a continuous, high-capacity water supply near the wildfire, eliminating the need for long-distance water refill runs. With an open or closed relay setup, our systems can transport water across tens of kilometers, even uphill, ensuring reliable access in the most remote and rugged terrains.

By bringing the water source closer, helicopters and ground vehicles can refill faster, drastically reducing travel times and increasing water supply rates. The result? Greater operational efficiency, faster wildfire suppression, and minimized damage — allowing response teams to act with speed and precision when every second counts.

Fully operational within hours

Designed for high performance and rapid deployment, Hytrans mobile water transport systems for wildfire control can be fully operational within hours using minimal manpower. Our systems can tap into diverse water sources—including pools, reservoirs, hydrants at a distance, mountain creeks, rivers, lakes, and even seawater, overcoming barriers of distance, elevation, and rugged environments.

Unlike conventional suction pumps or tanker-based transport, Hytrans systems deliver unmatched speed, capacity, mobility, and flexibility, ensuring a continuous, high-volume water supply exactly where firefighters need it most.
