Wildland Fire Suppression

Protect Wildland Firefighters,
Wildlife, and WUI Communities

As our climate changes, innovative wildland firefighting technology becomes essential to life safety and environmental health. Communities in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas face heightened threats from intensifying wildfire seasons. To protect civilians, firefighters, and neighborhoods, it is critical to implement wildland fire management strategies with eco-friendly F-500 EA®.

Eco-Friendly

Our products minimize environmental impact when combating wildfires. F-500 EA® protects air quality and water sources while supporting wildland fire suppression practices in compliance with environmental health standards.

Fluorine-Free

As fire departments transition away from fluorinated firefighting foams due to high levels of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the demand for fluorine-free alternatives, like our F-500 EA®, continues to grow to support fire safety initiatives.

Firefighter Cancer

Reduce Exposure to Toxins
in Smoke and Soot

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), wildland firefighters face hazardous exposure to Carbon Monoxide (CO), Benzene (C6H6), Formaldehyde (CH2O), and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), which significantly impacts air quality and affects their health. This exposure places them at an increased risk of lung cancer, cardiovascular disease mortality, and other health conditions compared to firefighters in urban settings, emphasizing the importance of proper safety training, personal protective equipment (PPE), better access to firefighting resources, and extensive fire safety education.

Fire Setting Report

F-500 EA®’s effectiveness in reducing toxin concentrations encountered by wildland fire crews, starting at the nozzle, has been well-documented by both the Laval Fire Department and the University of Ottawa. A comprehensive study, aimed at minimizing carcinogen exposure for crew members during firefighting operations, was conducted in honor of firefighter Langis Villeneuve, who tragically passed away from cancer connected to firefighting chemicals on November 3, 2020, at the age of 54. This research highlights the importance of using advanced firefighting foam and fire protection measures to enhance firefighter safety and reduce environmental impact during emergency response efforts.

“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.
