2026 is already shaping up to be something special and we can't wait to share it with you.

From travelling across North and South America, to connecting with incredible people who have become true champions of Eco-Gel™, to building strategic partnerships that strengthen our impact — it has been a busy and energizing year for FireRein.

It lets crews use less water, reduce reignition, and avoid adding toxic chemicals to soil and water.

Eco-Gel™ is a 100% bio-based, fluorine-free firefighting water additive that helps firefighters knock down fires faster and can be used for both prevention and structural protection, as well as fast, effective fire suppression.

As fire seasons blur into every season, we need tools that protect communities and land without leaving behind “forever” contamination in soil and water. FireRein is working with communities and wildfires experts to support safer, wildfire prevention and suppression across Turtle Island.

🔥 Keep trees and gifts at least 3 feet away from fireplaces, heaters, and candles
📴 Always turn tree lights off before bed or leaving the house

As Canada moves into another year of heightened wildfire risk, preparedness has to include both prevention and better suppression technology.

Drought and fire behaviour are directly linked. When landscapes are this dry, fires spread faster, burn hotter, and water becomes a critical – and limited – resource.

🌍 About 80% of Canada is now abnormally dry or in drought, and more than 8 million hectares have burned this year — the second-highest total on record.

Zack was also able to announce at Envision that the Royal Canadian Navy recently completed comprehensive testing, which showed Eco-Gel™’s superior efficacy and safety as a drop-in-ready alternative to PFAS firefighting foams and fluorine-free foams, which can be highly toxic and less effective.

After discovering the scope of “greenwashing” in firefighting and continued exposure to toxic chemicals, FireRein's co-founders set out to develop a revolutionary firefighting solution in terms of safety and efficacy.

Zackery shared with investors that he accepted certain risks as a firefighter, but was not prepared for the loss of colleagues to occupational cancer, now the leading cause of firefighter fatalities in Canada.

FireRein Eco-Gel™ offers a safer, PFAS-free, Canadian-made option for prevention and suppression, helping close critical gaps before the next season begins.

We can’t afford another year of “lessons learned.” Preparedness has to start now.

As seasons grow longer and fires become more destructive, provinces need modern, scalable tools that help communities protect themselves — not years from now, but today.
