During times of high fire activity, the U.S. Forest Service’s Durango Airtanker Base in Durango, CO, plays a critical role – capable of delivering over 20,000 gallons of retardant an hour to support firefighting operations.
In 2026 alone, the base has supported wildfire response efforts with over 1.28 million gallons of retardant, 484 flights, and 41 fires supported over 12 different states.

Ever wonder how PHOS-CHEK® actually works? It’s pure chemistry.
When flame contacts treated vegetation, the phosphate promotes char formation rather than flaming combustion, generating water v***r and graphite-like carbon instead of the volatile gases that sustain a flame front.
The retardant does not go away when the water dries. It stays put through wind, heat, and smoke, remaining effective for days, weeks, and months, until it is washed away by a significant rain event.

As wildfire challenges grow, more fire agencies are turning to ground-applied as another tool to help protect communities, strengthen fire lines, and support suppression efforts.
In the latest issue of Fire & Safety Journal Americas, Shawn Raley and Aaron Burrough discuss how ground application of fire retardant complements aerial firefighting by providing greater precision and flexibility when responding to .

The retardant does not go away when the water dries. It stays put through wind, heat, and smoke, remaining effective for days, weeks, and months, until it is diluted by rainfall or washed away mechanically.
