GelTech Solutions, Inc. announced that FireIce has been successfully deployed on more than 70 fires this season by firefighting airtankers contracted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry 'DNR'. In what has been a very busy start to the Minnesota wildland fire season, FireIce has proven to be highly effective and efficient in a variety of wildland firefighting situations. FireIce High Visibility Orange is now being used by the Minnesota DNR as the agency's primary fire chemical at all fixed and portable airtanker bases around the state.

The Minnesota DNR has purchased enough FireIce for 350 to 400 single engine airtanker loads, and an estimated 180 loads have been deployed already this season. Used in conjunction with a fleet of seven Air Tractor 802 and FireBoss aircraft contracted from Aero Spray by the DNR, FireIce has earned the praise of pilots and wildland firefighters on the ground for its superior effectiveness and ease of use.
