“Wildfires have changed,” said Britt Coulson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Coulson Aviation. “The aircraft have changed.
The retardant hasn’t kept up.”
“Many legacy formulations trace their origins to an era before today’s airtankers and precision delivery systems,” said Coulson.
“We cannot keep fighting today’s fires with chemistry designed for yesterday’s aircraft.”
“As operators, we had to step in and build what the industry needs next,” said Coulson.
“CFR HALO is engineered for modern airtankers, with environmental performance built in from the start and a formulation designed to keep more of each load where firefighters need it.”
