Firefighting is all about efficiency—getting water to the fire as fast as possible and using it effectively. When you're dealing with high heat, limited water supply, and unpredictable conditions, every second matters.

This is where Ultra-High-Pressure (UHP) firefighting changes the game. Unlike traditional centrifugal pump systems, which rely on volume to smother flames, UHP technology maximizes heat absorption and minimizes water use, allowing for faster knockdowns and greater reach.

The QTAC 75UHP is built with this in mind—a compact, high-performance skid unit designed to bring the power of UHP to wildland, vehicle, and structure fires. If you're running light attack vehicles or UTVs for fast response, this unit gives you maximum suppression capability in a minimal footprint.

Standard pump-and-roll systems have served their purpose for decades, but they come with inherent limitations—wasted water, excessive weight, and slower heat absorption. UHP firefighting changes the equation by delivering:

• More Surface Area, Faster Knockdowns
  UHP systems operate at 1,200 psi, producing ultra-fine water droplets that rapidly convert to steam on contact with fire. The more surface area you cover, the faster you pull heat out of the environment. Traditional centrifugal pumps produce larger droplets that take longer to vaporize, meaning slower fire suppression.

• Water Conservation Without Compromise
  With flow rates as low as 6.7 GPM, UHP extends operational time dramatically. The QTAC 75UHP can sustain continuous suppression for over 11 minutes on just 75 gallons of water—a stark contrast to conventional systems dumping 70–80 GPM.

• Foam-Enhanced Fire Attack
  UHP systems pair seamlessly with foam injection, increasing penetration and heat absorption. Foam blankets fuel sources, cutting off the fire’s energy supply and reducing re-ignition risks. Whether you're hitting vehicle fires, wildland brush, or structural hotspots, foam and UHP together create a more aggressive and controlled fire attack.

Use Cases for UHP Firefighting

‍

UHP isn’t just another firefighting method—it’s a specialized tool that excels in situations where efficiency and precision matter most.

• Vehicle Fires
  High heat, enclosed spaces, and limited access make vehicle fires a perfect match for UHP. The fine mist rapidly absorbs heat, allowing for quicker knockdowns and less water waste.

• Decontamination & Post-Fire Cleanup
  Ultra-high-pressure streams cut through contaminants, making it a valuable tool for washing away toxins and hazardous materials.
• Wildland & Remote Operations
  If you’re fighting a fire in an area without hydrant access, conserving water is critical. UHP allows maximum suppression with minimal supply, making it ideal for brush trucks, fast-attack UTVs, and mobile suppression units.
