Fight Fire with FYREBX
Wildland firefighting demands tools that are as rugged, adaptable, and capable as the terrain and conditions crews face. The FYREBX skid steer fire suppression attachment is a compelling example of domestic manufacturing rising to meet that challenge.
Built in the United States and designed to bolt onto standard compact track loaders or skid steers, the FYREBX system turns commonly owned machines into mobile firefighting platforms that can carry and deploy several hundred gallons of water or foam into rugged or overgrown areas that larger fire apparatus can’t easily reach.
What sets FYREBX apart is its modular, multipurpose design. The core attachment can be fitted to a compatible loader in minutes and operated by a single person from the cab, providing rapid response without specialized vehicles. Accessories—such as hose reels, dozer cutting edges, foam systems, and wildland tool kits—expand its utility beyond fire suppression into land and forest management, hydroseeding, dust control, and more.
This flexibility has practical implications for communities and agencies facing increasing wildfire risk. In areas where traditional fire engines struggle with access or where infrastructure is limited, FYREBX-equipped skid steers enable smaller teams to deliver water or foam directly where it’s needed most, support prescribed burns, or mop up hotspots after a blaze has passed. Its agility in tight, uneven terrain offers a tactical advantage that complements larger suppression efforts.
As climate change drives more frequent and intense wildfires, solutions like FYREBX demonstrate how American manufacturing and thoughtful design can provide adaptable, cost‑effective support to firefighting and land management. By leveraging existing equipment fleets and enhancing them with purpose‑built modular attachments, this approach shows how innovation can meet real operational needs while offering value across multiple use cases.
