Flood
Proven Impact
Protecting Your Critical Infrastructure
Integrated barrier systems eliminate the need for thousands of sandbags, reducing labor requirements, deployment times, and environmental impact without compromising protection. Real-time monitoring sensors support operational awareness, while the same high-capacity pumping systems used to fill barriers can also provide controlled water diversion and active dewatering throughout the incident.
How we do it
Integrated Barrier Deployment and High-Capacity Pumping
Flood events are time-sensitive, and when conditions exceed conventional response capacity, Fire and Flood deploys modular flood barriers and high-capacity pumping systems designed to move, divert, and control water at scale. Operating independently of grid power and fixed infrastructure, our systems can move water over miles of challenging terrain to support rapid barrier deployment and protection of transportation corridors, municipal assets, critical infrastructure, essential community facilities, and heritage sites. We provide scalable water-management capabilities when and where they are needed most.
Why we do it
Ensuring Resilience and Public Safety
Flood events are becoming more frequent and more costly across Canada. The 2013 Alberta floods forced more than 100,000 evacuations and caused over $5 billion in damages. In 2024 alone, a single storm caused $940 million in insured losses in Toronto, and Hurricane Debby remnants resulted in $2.8 billion in insured losses across 55 Quebec communities. After witnessing events like these firsthand, Fire and Flood Founder Terry Raymond built this company designed to provide the water movement capacity that communities and infrastructure operators need when conventional response is not enough.
STRATEGIC FLOOD DEFENSE
Custom Protection for Every Site
Fire and Flood deploys a range of temporary flood protection systems, selecting the most effective solution based on site conditions, flood behavior, operational objectives, and client requirements.
Rapidly Deployable Flood Barrriers
RAPID DEFENSE SYSTEMS
Our rapidly deployable flood barriers provide rapidly deployable, reusable protection for communities, critical infrastructure, transportation corridors, and industrial facilities. Designed for large-scale flood events, they eliminate thousands of sandbags, reduce labor and deployment times, adapt to varying terrain, and deliver reliable flood protection while minimizing environmental impact and long-term operating costs. A 24″ X 50″ flood barrier rolls up to the size of a large sleeping bag and can easily be deployed by one person before filling and anchoring. We have trailers, each pre-loaded with 1/2 mile of flood barrier and all associated equipment, availible any time.
Water-Gate® Flood Barriers
EFFORTLESS FLOOD MITIGATION
Water-Gate® Flood Barriers are self-deploying, reusable water-filled barriers that use the force of floodwater for rapid deployment without pumps, anchors, or heavy equipment. Lightweight and highly adaptable, they provide effective flood protection, water diversion, temporary reservoirs, and emergency pumping sources while significantly reducing personnel requirements and deployment time.
