After witnessing wildfire devastation, we sought a better way to fight back. Our patented, lightweight pump harnesses Canada’s water resources, delivering
high-pressure flow over long distances—matching 10,000 lb. pumps at just 570 lbs.—for efficient, off-road firefighting.
Deploy Faster, Access Remote Areas, and
Control Fires Effectively.

Wildfires can escalate rapidly, posing significant risks to lives, property, and communities. Stay one step ahead with real-time updates that empower faster response and smarter planning. By identifying high-risk areas as early as possible, you can make informed decisions and deploy resources more effectively, ensuring that emergency teams are positioned where they’re needed most.
With accurate, real-time insights, you can prioritize early action to mitigate damage, protect critical infrastructure, and safeguard communities before a wildfire gets out of control. Take proactive measures to reduce risk, enhance coordination between teams, and optimize resource allocation for a more resilient, prepared response. In wildfire management, every second counts—act decisively to minimize impact and protect what matters most.
This past May, our province battled the worst fire in our history when
the Wood Buffalo wildfire displaced almost 90,000 Albertans from their homes and businesses.
From the early hours of the emergency, through the months of rebuilding and recovery, the
strength of our communities and people has exemplified the spirit of Alberta.
When our province faced the worst, you reached out to help those who needed it most.
The incredible work you did in such difficult conditions has not gone unnoticed.
It is my honor to present you with a commemorative medallion and an official certificate in
recognition of your outstanding service. This medallion represents the extraordinary efforts
of Albertans who stepped up during the wildfires and evacuation. Your courage, resilience,
and compassion are nothing short of extraordinary. Please accept my deepest and sincerest
thanks for going above and beyond in the face of this unprecedented natural disaster.
While there is still a lot of work ahead of us, with the support and inspiration from
Albertans like you, we will make these communities home again.
Over the past summer, Civeo had experienced forest fires that
threatened one of its camps in Northern Alberta. Trident Pump Inc. worked with Civeo to
mobilize its equipment and technology with almost no notice to site.
Trident Pump Inc. was able to efficiently mobilize and utilize its technology to pump water
from the closest water source over 2 KM away to prevent the fires from harming the
lodge.
We found Trident Pump Inc. staff to be very knowledgeable, professional and cooperative
throughout the course of the situation in high stress times.
Overall I would classify Trident Pump Inc. work and their approach to be outstanding and
look forward to working with them in any project they should be awarded in the future. We
would recommend Trident Pump Inc. without hesitation.
High volume water transfer and structure protection are areas where
traditional wildland fire pumps and hose are lacking. The ability to move big volumes and
quickly set up a trunk line for water delivery is key in structure protection.
Whether for sprinkler deployment or high volume water transfer the Trident pump is very
strong and can deliver water quickly and for continuous periods without having to shut
down.
The pump control board made the pump operation and operating RPM very easy to manage. The
size of the fuel tank makes for full day operations with little to no support needed from
the pump staff so they can be utilized for hose and sprinkler deployment or adjustments.
The pump mounted on a UTV allows for deployment of the intake into very shallow water as the
UTV is used as the platform at the waters edge.
In 2022, at Christina Lake, a beaver dam was in danger of spilling
over and flooding the community again. The last time this happened, it caused 1.6 Million in
damages.
Twelve members of the fire department were assigned the task of dropping the water level.
They packed in 6 wajax pumps and hose. Over the next Eleven days they continually operated
the pump systems and had multiple pump failures. The end result was not positive as the
water level drop was negligible.
In late April, 2023, BCWS was called in to assist when the same dam threatened to flood.
They deployed Two Trident systems on scene. They had to cut a trail into the area, in order
to gain access with the 6×6 mounted units. Two crews of Four workers deployed the Two
Trident pumps and hose, then ran the systems until the resulting water level was less than
Eleven inches, which signifigently alleviated the threat . The total time on site was less
than 15 hours.
Being as the Trident community protection systems can be deployed so rapidly in almost all
off-road situations, they can be used for fires or flood mitigation in any community.
BCWS see’s many uses for this new technology, including structural protection, fire guard
support in the form of a wet line, tender filling and flood mitigation. We have purchased
Two complete systems and are proud to support Canadian Innovation.
