Over 50 million people in North America live in the Wildland Urban Interface. Firefighters facing flame walls on the front lines are further assaulted by showers of burning embers, cones and branches that can be launched over their heads thousands of yards downwind. Multiple new spot fires can quickly erupt into major new threats that drain firefighting resources. RainStream™ uses the wind to deliver a protect mist downwind to mitigate spotting.
COMMUNITIES & MUNICIPALITIES
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
For many Indigenous communities, the land is not just a place to live but a vital part of their cultural identity, traditions, and way of life. Wildfires can devastate these lands, leading to the loss of homes, sacred sites, and natural resources that have sustained these communities for generations. The disruption caused by wildfires can have long-lasting effects on the cultural and economic stability of Indigenous peoples.
Wildfires not only devastate human communities but also destroy natural habitats, endangering countless species. RainStream™ helps protect wildlife by creating moisture-rich environments that prevent fires from spreading through critical ecosystems. By safeguarding these areas, RainStream™ ensures the survival of species and helps preserve biodiversity. Additionally, reducing wildfire risk can mitigate harmful health effects caused by smoke and ash, benefiting both the environment and the communities living nearby.
WILDLIFE & ENVIRONMENTAL
PRESERVATION
Military artillery and tank training ranges are vital for maintaining combat readiness, with live-fire exercises being crucial to prepare forces for real-world scenarios. However, dry summer conditions often limit range use due to the elevated risk of forest fires. Even with stringent safety measures, fires can still break out, diverting valuable personnel and resources from training to firefighting. To mitigate this risk, using the RainStream™ before conducting live-fire range testing ensures proactive wildfire protection, allowing training to proceed without interruptions while safeguarding the surrounding environment.
MILITARY ARTILLERY AND LIVE TRAINING RANGES
The oil and gas industry operates in some of the most fire-prone areas, where a single spark can lead to catastrophic consequences. RainStream™ offers a robust solution for protecting pipelines, refineries, and other critical infrastructure by creating a saturated barrier that prevents fires from spreading, thus minimizing risk and ensuring the safety of these vital resources.
OIL, GAS AND REMOTE INFRASTRUCTURE
Remote camps, lodges, and resort are often located in scenic but wildfire-prone areas. The loss of these properties not only impacts cherished memories but also represents significant financial investments. RainStream™ provides an innovative solution by creating a dome-like microclimate above the canopy, reducing wildfire risks from the top down. This system offers reliable protection, allowing property owners to safeguard their investments and preserve what matters most.
REMOTE CAMPS, LODGES & RESORTS
Wildfires pose a significant threat to power transmission and communication lines, causing widespread outages and costly repairs. RainStream™ can be strategically deployed to protect these essential structures by creating a microclimate that cools the air and prevents fires from spreading, ensuring a continuous power supply during wildfire events.
