Invest In The Future of Aerial Wildland Firefighting with Western States Fire & SKHI-EX™
Help us save lives, reduce the cost of firefighting, protect property, and reduce damaging environmental impacts globally via advanced firefighting equipment and technology.
Deliver 14X more fire suppression than today’s aerial wildland firefighting tools at half the market price with the SKHI-EX™ Wildland Aerial Fire Suppression System by Western States Fire.
Per the National Interagency Coordination Center, 56,580 U.S. wildfires burned 2,693,910 acres in 2023 alone. To address this growing environmental concern, Western States Fire developed the next-generation Wildland Aerial Fire Suppression System, SKHI-EX™.
Our patented SKHI-EX™ Wildland Aerial Fire suppression system deploys GRAS-approved, PFAS-free, environmentally safe fire suppression foam by helicopter or heavy-lift drone. We have designed this next-generation technology to advance aerial fire suppression capabilities, enabling us to cover a minimum of 32 miles of Fireline in an 8-hour period.
SKHI-EX™ covers 14X the distance in one pass than a single Skycrane helicopter dropping water alone. SKHI-EX™ is going to market and will significantly change the impact of wildfires on the environment and communities globally.
Beyond the community-level benefits, the fire suppression foam market is worth $1.5 billion annually. The stakes, need, and return on investment potential are all high—and the political and societal pressure for a solution to address the increasing numbers of wildfires and environmental impacts is more urgent than ever.
To accommodate these needs, the company’s go-to-market plan incorporates early partnerships with government agencies and long-term strategic partnerships with firefighting contractors. Grants have been identified that can be secured for future end users for ongoing acquisition funding of the SKHI-EX™ delivery system.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how you can help bring the SKHI-EX™ solution to market and transform the future of aerial wildfire fighting globally.
The immediate opportunity is to participate in our $3.5 million in SAFE Seed Financing efforts, these will be followed by a $15 million Series A Financing round to further accelerate the commercialization of the SKHI-EX™ Aerial Fire Suppression system.
