Our Story

Northern Star Fire LLC was founded by Eau Claire, WI Fire Captain Jeff Dykes, in 2015. Dedicated to producing life safety devices, Capt. Dykes invented the company’s flagship product called the ‘Northern Star.’ Northern Star Fire has worked with local engineers to produce the safest, most reliable directional guidance system in the fire service. When a firefighter installs the Northern Star inside their face piece, they are giving themselves an additional level of personal protection otherwise unavailable.

Northern Star Environments

Zero Visibility

Firefighters can become disoriented within seconds of entering a zero visibility environment. The Northern Star provides continuous directional guidance when needed most.

SCUBA

Divers often cannot tell up from down, never-the-less North from South while under water. Dive with the confidence of always knowing your direction of travel.

Rescue Efforts

When seconds count, directional awareness is paramount. Search faster by always knowing which way the Bravo/Charlie bedroom is with the Northern Star.

Built by a Firefighter for Firefighters

The Northern Star device was created by Eau Claire, WI Fire Captain, Jeff Dykes. Captain Dykes saw the need for a simple device that could prevent disorientation in all firefighting environments. Captain Dykes knows that disorientation is one of the most dangeous situations a firefighter can find themself in and he works every day to combat disorientation with the Northern Star.

The Fire Service is very important to me and I take it as a personal responsibility to protect the men and women that serve alongside me. Disorientation is one of the most dangerous situations a firefighter can find themselves in and by creating the Northern Star I’m hoping I can do my part to prevent these types of situations. If I can save even one life or prevent one injury, all the effort put into creating this will have been worth it.
