Innovation in Action: SparkBarrier Teams Up with Darley at Wisconsin State Foresters Training Conference
When industry leaders collaborate, it’s not just a partnership; it’s progress.
Last month in Coloma, Wisconsin, SparkBarrier had the opportunity to team up with Darley, a leader in firefighting equipment, for a live demonstration at the Wisconsin Operating Engineers Training Center. The event was part of the State Foresters Alliance training conference, bringing together fire professionals from across the region to focus on tools, tactics, and technologies for wildland fire suppression.
While time and access constraints limited when and where we could film on-site, what we captured is a powerful example of real-world application. The footage shows Darley’s Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) in action, spraying SparkBarrier™ Class-A Tactical Fire Foam.
Real Equipment. Real Foam. Real Results.
The CAFS demo put both equipment and product to the test under authentic field conditions. Though the footage focuses primarily on the event and CAF system, SparkBarrier played a vital role behind the scenes, delivering:
- Exceptional foam consistency and expansion, even under high-pressure delivery
- Fast surface penetration for quicker knockdown in live fire scenarios
- Environmentally responsible formulation that aligns with today’s wildland firefighting values
Built for the Front Lines
This wasn’t a lab test or showroom display. It was boots-on-the-ground training for the professionals who fight fire in unpredictable conditions. The fact that SparkBarrier integrated so smoothly into Darley’s CAFS highlights exactly what it’s designed for: field-ready performance with the flexibility to pair with industry-standard equipment.
