Fire suppression products can have a much bigger impact than most people realize, both operationally and environmentally.
Join FireRein on October 21 at 11:00 a.m. EDT / 8:00 a.m. PDT for a free 45-minute webinar with Dr. David Hyndman, PhD, Chief Science Officer at FireRein.
We’ll look at the risks, impacts and options around the foams and gels used every day to fight fires, including findings from Canadian Armed Forces, government and university testing.
Mining, wildfire, lithium-battery and built infrastructure applications will all be part of the conversation.

The tools have changed. The people haven't.
A century ago, wildfire response could mean a line of people with buckets, doing whatever they could with whatever they had.
Today, firefighters have better equipment, better training, better information and a century of lessons behind them. But when wildfire threatens a community, it still comes down to people showing up for people.
In wildfire response, water is never unlimited.
Sometimes the nearest reliable source is kilometres away. Sometimes tankers are tied up in long shuttle operations, and crews are trying to hold a line with whatever they can get.
Eco-Gel™ helps water cling and stay in place longer, continuing to cool instead of simply running off. It gives crews another tool to improve water efficiency when every refill takes time and every litre matters.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
Every wildfire season, we promise to learn. Then the smoke clears, and we move on.
Communities in northern Ontario have described evacuation confusion, communication failures and people being left without clear answers while fire closed in. 1/7

If you own an e-bike, e-scooter, or other Lithium-ion device, know the risks. The risk of fire spread from thermal runnay is significant.
@FireReinInc has a fire extinguisher designed for these applications. – at Barrie, Ontario
Yesterday an e-bike burst into flames outside a residence with lithium ion battery cells becoming dangerous projectiles. @Toronto_Fire firefighters are facing these far too frequently and they present unique challenges-flying battery cells, toxic smoke, extreme smoke as examples
