Already in 2025, there have been 22,759 total wildfires, with 988,319 acres burned as of May 4. These are both well above the 10-year average and things don't look to be slowing down any time soon.
Most of the East Coast and the Southwest are all experiencing moderate to extreme droughts with unseasonably warm temperatures to start off 2025. Multiple large wildfire have taken place in both regions impacted by the drought, warm temperatures, and gusty winds.
Maui Fire Department: Case Study
Evaluating Fire Streams for Enhanced Wildland Firefighting
This Maui Fire Department whitepaper presents findings from a series of live fire tests conducted by Maui FD comparing combination fog nozzles (“Fog”) to combination BLADE™ nozzles (“BLADE™”) for fire suppression. Collectively, these findings suggest that transitioning to a 45 GPM BLADE™ nozzle can significantly improve firefighting efficiency and safety.
