The fire service industry has a tradition of not adapting very fast, says Jeffrey Denholm, CEO, and founder of Strong Water. With wildfires just getting worse across the nation each year, that’s a huge problem.

That’s why Denholm and his team came up with a solution, a water enhancement technology that robs surface areas of oxygen, allowing water to stick, stay, and fight wildfires more effectively.

Not only that, but the technology is way better for the environment than traditional fire retardants - being free of any oils, surfactants, or toxic agents.
