CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steel River Group Inc. (“SRG” or the “Company”) has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Fire & Flood Emergency Services, making the company the Canada-wide dealer and distributor of their unique patent pending “mass water” deployment system. The new expansion strengthens the Steel River Group of Companies’ offering while aligning with its mission to connect Indigenous communities with Industry, in discovering greater opportunities together.
The industry leading water delivery technology offers customers the quickest deployment and demobilization of equipment over any terrain and provides a new tool for dealing with devastating fires and flooding in remote and hard to access areas.
“As an Indigenous owned company, Steel River Group feels a strong sense of responsibility to protect the land and people, which is why this is such a positive new service offering for our company and addition to our Indigenous ecosystem,” explained the Company’s President and CEO, Trend Fequet. “This impressive technology is ideal for major industrial, infrastructure and pipeline projects, as well as for fighting forest fires, other wildfires and floods.”
Fire & Flood Emergency Service’s mass water deployment system can provide access to water over vast distances in excess of 75 kilometers to build a water curtain barrier as a buffer to slow firestorm activity. The system can also tap into a mobile hydrant system through their manifold technology for further fire suppression activities, reducing water shuttle intervals, as well as reducing manpower and personnel exhaustion. The system consists of a series of pumps, hoses and manifolds that are deployed using specialized all terrain trucks.
“With the mass water deployment system, construction companies, project owners and emergency response teams have an effective new tool to include in their Emergency Response Plans and Site Specify Safety Plans,” added Fequet.
Interested parties can contact Steel River Group directly for more information about accessing the system and incorporating it into emergency response planning processes.
