8E MEERAS revolutionizes fire emergency response through rapid 60-second connections, early detection, automated alerts, resource optimization, and property protection. By instantly linking users to emergency authorities, 8E MEERAS bridges critical communication gaps when every second counts. State-of-the-art sensors identify nascent fires before they escalate, enabling early warnings to minimize damage. Automated notifications provide clear evacuation and precaution guidance amidst the chaos. Strategic real-time data allows optimal resource allocation to bolster response effectiveness. Swift emergency responses also safeguard properties and assets at risk. With these multifaceted capabilities, 8E MEERAS is uniquely equipped to empower communities to respond quickly, minimize losses, and protect what matters most when a fire strikes.

Iluka College Co., Ltd. 
Iluka College Co., Ltd. is a Japan-based R&D company developing cutting-edge fire suppression solutions under CEO Noriko Asayama’s visionary leadership. The company is at the forefront of technological innovations supporting human and planetary vitality with cutting-edge fire suppression solutions like GelPouch extinguishers that can snuff out fires in just 5 minutes. Their GelPouch Fire Extinguishing Agent, holding International patents in the US and Australia (Patent No. 6164625), is a revolutionary product with numerous advantages.

The GelPouch Fire Extinguishing Agent is an innovative solution offering multifaceted benefits for fighting fires. Its ability to be used at high altitudes allows precise aerial fire targeting to reduce aircraft crash risks. Drawing water from any nearby source, whether seawater, river, or pond, provides convenience in sourcing. Coating and smothering burning materials cut off the oxygen supply for effective extinguishing that cools without suffocating victims, unlike water, which may evaporate or cause flare-ups. With naturally biodegradable materials, GelPouch is eco-friendly and ensures no environmental harm. Finally, its compact size means it occupies minimal space yet retains effectiveness for up to 5 years in dry, stored form. It offers the combined advantages of precision, accessibility, potency, sustainability, and longevity in a revolutionary fire suppression solution.

The innovative “Fire Shooter” is another groundbreaking Iluka product for fire suppression. It leverages an edible thickening gelling agent to optimize viscosity compared to regular firefighting water. Coating and smothering burning materials suppress fire spread through suffocation and cooling effects, requiring less gel than water to extinguish and reducing flare-up risks. Easy to use, one pack mixes with 15L of water in a tank/bucket before transferring to a compatible backpack sprayer. Experiments demonstrate Fire Shooter’s maximum concentration and rapid extinguishing capabilities for total water usage efficiency. With benefits like lasting protective puddles, reduced firefighter fatigue through easier pumping, and an edible formula that decomposes to enrich forests, Fire Shooter enhances safety, effectiveness, and ecological sustainability in ground fire suppression.

Together, these two innovators, 8E MEERAS and Iluko College Co., Ltd. are revolutionizing how we respond to fires by connecting those in distress instantly with the closest responders. Their integrated solutions leverage quick extinguishing agents and rapid response times to help communities mitigate fire damage.
