STORM KING MOUNTAIN TECHNOLOGIES
On July 6, 1994, 14 firefighters died while fighting the South Canyon Fire on Storm King Mountain in Colorado.
Storm King Mountain Technologies founder Jim Roth’s 29 year old brother Roger was among them.
Creating live-saving technology to prevent future loss of lives, Jim Roth developed the Fire Barrier Curtain. Using his background in aerospace engineering, Roth determined that the equipment his brother had used to protect himself from the fire hadn’t been effective enough. That’s when he created his company, Storm King Mountain Technologies, and launched the Fire Barrier Curtain, a product that provides protection for the “weak spots” of a fire engine in the event of a wildfire.
The Fire Barrier Curtain is composed of four layers: a reflective layer, a thermal insulation core layer, a second reflective layer, and a Nomex layer that can be fitted around the fire engine’s windows with hook and loop fasteners. Each curtain is held in place rolled up and stowed with mechanical fasteners. Storm King Mountain Technologies’ products are giving firefighters the best protection possible and peace of mind. Storm King Mountain Technologies takes pride in developing products that keep firefighters safe in all seasons.
