Using a primitive gel delivery system that he modified, veteran volunteer firefighter Gorden Sabo saved his home and 14 others in the Battle Creek Wildfire of 2002. The backpack system was cumbersome and difficult to use, however, and he was driven to find a better way.
Four years later, the world's first pressurized gel delivery truck was ready for action. That summer, Gorden used his invention in four states to save 100 homes in 8 different wildfires. Another 50 homes were saved in 2007. Gorden's two trucks can't be everywhere they are needed, and he founded DakotaFire Systems in 2007 so that his proven technology would be available to firefighters everywhere.
