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.

We have the privilege of working and training alongside firefighters year-round, and we never lose sight of who we're developing better tools for. To the crews working across Canada right now, the communities supporting them, and everyone stepping up to help: thank you.

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.

Better planning. Clearer communication. Faster decisions. Stronger relationships with northern and First Nations communities. Better tools in the hands of the people expected to protect them. Because the next fire will not wait for us to finish arguing about this one. 7/7

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
