Scotty Delta Backpack 22.7-liter firefighting backpack for wildfires
The Scotty Delta Backpack is a firefighting backpack designed to carry a water supply directly on the responder’s back during operations to combat wildfires, forest fires, and fires in hard-to-reach areas. With a capacity of 6 U.S. gallons—approximately 22.7 liters—it offers a mobile, self-contained solution particularly suited for firefighters, fire safety services, forestry crews, and professionals responsible for protecting natural areas.
Its rugged design combines a high-visibility exterior, an ergonomic carrying system inspired by long-distance hiking backpacks, and various features designed to facilitate extended field operations. The Delta Backpack is thus designed to improve mobility, comfort, and equipment organization during firefighting operations.
A firefighting backpack designed for wildfires and brush fires
During operations in forested areas or on brush fires, access for fire trucks may be limited by the terrain, vegetation, or distance from roadways. A firefighting backpack with a water reservoir allows the responder to carry the extinguishing agent needed for initial attack operations, extinguishing residual hot spots, or monitoring fire perimeters.
The Delta Backpack’s reinforced construction makes it particularly well-suited for the demanding environments encountered during forest fire operations. Its large capacity provides a portable water supply while maintaining good freedom of movement.
Carrying Comfort and Ergonomics for Extended Operations
The Scotty Delta Backpack features a harness with shoulder straps and a waist belt, designed with inspiration from multi-day hiking backpacks. This system is intended to distribute the load across the back and hips to improve comfort during travel and extended operations.
Lightweight fiber rods maintain the structure against the back. An internal anti-slosh partition limits the movement of water inside the reservoir while walking, thereby helping to improve the wearer’s stability on uneven terrain.
