Power & Precision

Where Innovation Meets Fire Management

welcome to GelFire Systems^®

GelFire Systems® is the industry leader in advanced ground ignition technology for prescribed fire, fuels reduction, and land management applications. Our flagship products—GELFIRE® Gelling Agent and the GelFire® Terra Torch®—work together to deliver safer, more effective, and more reliable ignition than traditional methods.

GELFIRE® transforms conventional fuel into a high-performance gel that burns hotter, burns longer, and adheres to target fuels for superior ignition. Paired with the GelFire® Terra Torch®, the industry’s premier ground ignition system, operators can safely and accurately project a stream of ignited gel up to 50 feet into the target area.

Together, GELFIRE® and the GelFire® Terra Torch® extend burn windows, improve ignition success, and enhance operational efficiency in challenging fuel and weather conditions. Whether used as a primary ignition tool or alongside drip torches and aerial ignition systems, GelFire Systems® provides land managers with the performance and flexibility needed to achieve successful prescribed fire outcomes.

Proven Benefits:

Extends prescribed fire burn windows
Improves ignition success in challenging conditions
Increases operator safety and efficiency
Delivers precise, long-range ignition capability
Ideal for prescribed fire, fuels reduction, invasive species control, and habitat management

Prescribed Fire Operations

A Proven Tool for Successful Prescribed Fire

GELFIRE® and the GelFire® Terra Torch® provide land managers and fire professionals with a powerful solution for prescribed burning, fuels reduction, wildfire operations, and vegetation management. Designed to deliver precise, reliable ignition, the system helps operators achieve burn objectives safely and efficiently.

The GelFire® Terra Torch® significantly improves prescribed fire success by producing a consistent, high-energy ignition source capable of igniting target fuels under a wider range of conditions. This enhanced ignition capability helps ensure burn plans are carried out effectively and according to project objectives.

Unlike traditional ignition methods, the GelFire® Terra Torch® enables operators to ignite fuels in less favorable weather and fuel conditions. Conducting prescribed burns under these conditions can reduce the risk of fire escape, improve operational flexibility, and substantially increase available burn windows throughout the year.

Benefits:

Extends prescribed fire burn windows
Improves ignition success and burn plan implementation
Enables ignition in challenging weather and fuel conditions
Reduces the risk associated with burning during extreme conditions
Increases operational efficiency and flexibility
Ideal for prescribed fire, fuels reduction, and wildfire operations

Wildland Fire Management

An Effective Tool for Blacklining and Fireline Operations

Wildfires continue to impact millions of acres across North America each year, threatening communities, natural resources, and critical infrastructure. Fire managers and wildland firefighters need reliable tools that improve operational efficiency while enhancing safety and effectiveness on the fireline.

The GelFire® Terra Torch® delivers a powerful ignition capability that supports both prescribed fire operations and wildfire suppression activities. By projecting a stream of ignited gel precisely where it is needed, operators can rapidly establish blacklines, strengthen containment efforts, and improve fireline preparation.

The intense, sustained heat produced by the GelFire® Terra Torch® allows firefighters to quickly consume vegetation adjacent to control lines, creating effective blacklines that help reduce the likelihood of fire crossing containment boundaries. This capability enables crews to work more efficiently while supporting safer and more effective wildfire management operations.

Benefits:

Rapid blackline creation and reinforcement
Long-range ignition capability up to 50 feet
Supports wildfire containment operations
Improves fireline preparation and holding efforts
Increases operational efficiency and effectiveness
Ideal for prescribed fire and wildland fire management applications

Invasive Species Eradication

Creating Extreme Heat That Burns Problems at the Root

Invasive species continue to threaten forests, rangelands, wetlands, and other natural ecosystems. The GelFire® Terra Torch® is a proven vegetation management tool that delivers intense heat and projects a stream of fire up to 50 feet, providing unmatched effectiveness for the eradication of invasive plants.

Unlike conventional ignition methods, the GelFire® Terra Torch® can ignite vegetation under challenging weather conditions and during greener stages of plant growth. This capability significantly expands treatment opportunities and increases prescribed fire burn windows, helping land managers achieve successful vegetation control when traditional methods may be ineffective.

Benefits:

Effective invasive species control
Projects a stream of fire up to 50 feet
Creates intense, concentrated heat
Extends prescribed fire burn windows
Performs in challenging weather conditions
Ideal for forests, rangelands, wetlands, and right-of-way management
