100% survival (Logan Lake)'A Wall of Water': Canada's Fire Crews Already Trust Sprinklers to Save Whole Towns
From Logan Lake to Jasper to Nova Scotia, the most quietly consistent success story in Canadian wildfire response is the sprinkler protection unit. Fire agencies deploy them to save communities. The next step is making that protection permanent.
03 / Systems
