Abstract: A container configured to hold fire extinguishing material and to be aerially deployable over a fire for releasing the fire extinguishing material over the fire includes a skid plate and a restraint strap coupled to the skid plate. A box assembly is positionable on the skid plate and includes a box body including a wall having an upper edge, with the restraint strap being connectable to the wall. A box strap is connected to the box body. A bag is positionable within the box body and is configured to receive the fire extinguishing material, with the bag being closable to retain the fire extinguishing material received therein. A lid is positionable on the box body, with the lid having a main panel and a lid strap connected to the main panel. The lid strap is connectable to the box strap to secure the lid to the box assembly.

Abstract: A rapid deployment barrier which is specifically configured and adapted to be easily transitionable between a stowed configuration during storage and transport, and a deployed configuration when constructing the barrier.

Abstract: A firefighting device has a rigid sleeve and an inner bladder within the sleeve. The bladder is rupturable with a pair of bladder straps attached to the bladder which is pulled upon by a pair of lid straps attached to a lid when the firefighting device is released from a forward moving aircraft. Additionally, the sleeve may have a pair of sleeve straps which are connected to a lower half of the sleeve and the lid straps to facilitate rotation of the device when the device is released from the forward moving aircraft.

Abstract: A cellulose based substrate (20) generally includes a cellulose based sheet having a corrugated medium (48) spanning between first and second linerboards (44 and 46), wherein the corrugated medium includes at least one sizing agent for moisture wicking resistance. The cellulose based substrate further includes a polymeric film (43) encapsulating at least a portion of the cellulose based sheet.
