When fire and water threaten your community, you need people who've been there.
Wildfire & Flood Response
The Loomex Group has teamed up with Delta Wildfire Response to bring specialized wildfire structure protection and flood mitigation to Ontario — including remote and First Nations communities. Between us, we carry the equipment, the training, and the field experience to show up when it matters.
The Loomex Group has been delivering training, emergency response and management and exercises for over 15 years
Two organizations. One shared mission.
A New Partnership for Ontario
The Loomex Group and Delta Wildfire Response share more than a service area. They share a way of working. Both organizations are built around long-term relationships with the communities they serve, a preference for getting hands dirty over writing reports, and a belief that remote and Indigenous communities deserve the same level of response capability as anywhere else.
Delta is a BC-based structure protection and flood mitigation firm with years of field operations across Western and Central Canada. Their systems are built to be portable and deployable in remote areas, including high-volume Tohatsu pumps, wildfire sprinkler arrays, flood barriers, and helicopter support tanks designed for scenarios where infrastructure doesn't exist and coverage gaps are real.
Loomex brings the emergency management side: EOC activation support, ICS-trained personnel, incident coordination, and deep relationships with First Nations communities across Ontario built over a decade and a half of active deployments.
Together, the two organizations offer a combination of technical equipment and emergency management experience that isn't widely available in this province.
“Loomex and Delta both offer cutting-edge technology, skilled teams, and the ability to expand services across Ontario, reacting quickly when disaster strikes.”
— Trent Gervais, President and CEO, The Loomex Group
“We look forward to working closely with the Loomex Group to provide Wildfire and Flood Response services across Ontario.”
— Alex Patterson, Wildfire Response Manager, Delta Wildfire Response
Loomex has been responding to floods in Ontario for years. Delta brings the hardware and expertise to do more of it.
Flooding Operations
Spring flooding is a recurring reality for many Ontario communities, particularly those near rivers, wetlands, and Lake-fed systems. Delta's flood operations cover the full cycle: preparation before water rises, active response during an event, and structured recovery after.
Flood Preparedness
- Delta defines preparedness as the proactive measures taken so organizations are ready to respond before an event begins. Planning, crew coordination, and equipment staging all happen well in advance of flood season — not the week the river crests.
Active Flood Response
- During an active event, Delta deploys high-volume Tohatsu pumps, flood barriers, and culvert plugs to protect critical infrastructure. Sandbagging operations and silt bags are used to safeguard fish-bearing streams and sensitive ecosystems.
Flood
Recovery- Once the immediate threat passes, the work shifts to restoring access, removing debris, and supporting communities in getting critical systems back online. Delta stays through recovery — not just the acute phase.
Tohatsu Portable Pumps
- Delta is the Canadian sales agent for Tohatsu portable fire pumps — a high-volume, lightweight pump used widely in Canadian structure protection and flood control. Fast starts, reliable under field conditions, and built for the kind of remote deployment that isn't forgiving of mechanical failures.
Built for Remote Operations
- Delta's systems are designed specifically to be portable and to maximize coverage in areas without existing water infrastructure. They have extensive experience working in remote and First Nations communities across Canada and understand what it takes to operate where logistics are complicated.
Environmentally Responsible Response
- In ecologically and culturally sensitive areas — including First Nations territories — Delta operates with specific protocols to preserve fish-bearing streams, cultural sites, and surrounding ecosystems throughout response efforts.
Structure protection and fire response for communities at risk.
Wildfire Operations
Wildfire season in Ontario is no longer a distant threat. Delta brings CIFFC-certified crews and purpose-built equipment to protect critical infrastructure when fire pushes toward communities — including the remote and northern areas where existing resources are thin.
Structure Protection
- Delta's crews are trained to CIFFC standards including Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). In a wildfire event, they assess critical infrastructure, deploy the correct number of sprinklers, and manage water supply to maximize the chance of protecting structures when the fire front arrives.
Wildfire Support Tanks
- Purpose-built portable tanks that allow crews to establish water supply in areas without hydrant infrastructure. Designed for rapid deployment and the kind of long water-delivery scenarios that come with protecting remote structures.
Speed Loading Hydrants
- Delta's speed loading hydrants allow tankers to refill significantly faster than conventional approaches — a critical advantage in high-tempo wildfire operations where every minute of operational tempo matters.
Heli Operations
- Engineered helicopter support tanks for aerial wildfire operations. Delta's heli operations capability expands the reach of structure protection and suppression efforts into areas that ground crews can't efficiently access.
Equipment Not Widely Available in Ontario
- The combination of technical expertise and specialized equipment that Delta brings is not widely available in this province. That's the point of this team — Loomex's Ontario roots and EM coordination capability paired with Delta's field hardware and crew experience.
No community can fully control when an emergency will occur.
Response & Readiness
That's not cynicism - it's the operating assumption every prepared community works from. Wildfires don't wait for budget cycles. Flooding doesn't defer to staffing gaps. Remote and northern communities, in particular, often face these events with limited local capacity and long lead times for outside support.
This alignment exists to close that gap in Ontario. Loomex has spent 15 years building relationships and operational capacity in communities across the province, including repeated deployments to First Nations evacuations. Delta brings the physical equipment and trained crews that make the difference between infrastructure protected and infrastructure lost.
The resources are now available. The question is whether your community has a plan to access them.

Is your community ready for flood and fire season?
Response & Readiness
Whether you're a municipality, First Nations community, or provincial agency planning for the season ahead, we want to talk. Loomex and Delta can assess your current capabilities, identify gaps, and provide the equipment and personnel to fill them — before the next event, not during it.
