Wildland Fire Suppression

Protect Wildland Firefighters,
Wildlife, and WUI Communities

As our climate continues to change, the inclusion of innovative wildland firefighting technology is crucial. Each year, weather related events become more intense, contributing to the erosion of woodlands. While Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) communities attempt to recover from these natural disasters, an influx of devastation poses an undeniable fire hazard during warmer seasons.

Cancer Prevention

Wildland firefighters aren’t equipped with adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). They must adapt by finding other ways to proactively fight firefighter cancer.

Fluorine-Free

As fire departments transition away from fluorinated foams due to high levels of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), the need for fluorine-free alternatives increases.

Firefighter Cancer

Reduce Exposure to Toxins
in Smoke and Soot at the Nozzle

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), wildland firefighters face dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO), Benzene (C6H6), Formaldehyde (CH2O), and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure. Because of this, they carry an even higher risk of lung cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality compared to other firefighters.

Fire Setting Report

F-500 EA®’s ability to reduce the concentration of toxins encountered by firefighters, starting at the nozzle, is documented by both Laval Fire Department and University of Ottawa. A comprehensive study was conducted with an objective to reduce carcinogen exposure related to firefighting in loving memory of firefighter Langis Villeneuve, who passed away of cancer related to the profession on November 3rd, 2020 at 54 years old.

“The committee is confident that the encapsulator agent reduces a firefighter’s exposure to carcinogenic contaminants.”

Troubling Trends

Improve Wildland Firefighting
Strategies with
F-500 EA®

In 2023, wildland fires burned close to 12 million hectares of land globally. This was a significant increase compared to previous years, with fires in Canada contributing to the majority of wildfire-driven damage. A 1% solution of F-500 EA® can absorb thermal energy significantly faster than plain water, prevent fire spread, reduce the risk of re-ignition, and preserve life.

Fluorine-free Alternatives

Embrace Fluorine-Free
Fire Suppression with F-500 EA®

We’re proud to provide an eco-friendly solution that eliminates the public health concerns and costly damages associated with traditional foam fire suppression. F-500 EA® is a fluorine-free, biodegradable, and non-corrosive solution, providing superior fire protection, explosive vapor mitigation, flammable fuel spill control, and contamination response with Encapsulator Technology.
