An airburst delivery system that may provide for effective delivery of firefighting material to forest fires. The system generally utilizes an explosive charge to detonate a frangible containment vessel filled with firefighting material above the earth and typically above fire in a forest canopy. The resulting expanding sphere of water and related shockwaves provides a multi-effect interaction with the fire resulting in multiple water soakings combined with the sue of the vacuum and compression created by the shockwave to starve the fire of fuel and oxygen.
