ABOUT K3 FIRE

A Game Changer in UHP Firefighting

K3 Fire is an original equipment manufacturer and designer of innovative solutions for the fire industry. Our founders are three brothers.  Mike, Tom and Toby Kutrieb have worked together as a team in engineering, manufacturing and sales for over 25-years.  

The Kutrieb family’s core aerospace business specializes in gas turbine engine development. Clients include Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, Boeing and university customers at Stanford, Princeton, Ohio State, and the Naval and Air Force academies. A former customer at Tyndall AFB was doing research in ultra-high pressure firefighting, which ultimately led to the founding of our new company, K3 Fire, Inc.

K3 Fire’s compact new TurboDrive amplifier pump and TurboPierce products are powered by a unique water turbine that’s similar in principle to a jet engine’s power extraction turbine. Our water turbine design extracts energy from a fire truck’s existing hose discharge and eliminates the need for another small combustion engine. This engineering innovation is revolutionary in that it offers a fire department reliable ultra-high pressure capability for a fraction of the cost, size and complexity of currently available systems.
