Wildfires in Canada are hitting harder than ever. In 2025 alone, over 8.8 million hectares have burned, 631 buildings are gone, lives were lost, and the damage costs billions. Many towns can’t get help fast enough. That’s where Trident Pump steps in, giving communities fast, field ready tools to control fires before they turn into disasters.
The Growing Threat of Wildfires
In recent years, wildfires have become more frequent, intense, and unpredictable. Many rural and remote communities face a dangerous gap between the time a fire starts and when fire trucks can respond. Delayed access to water can allow small fires to grow into unstoppable blazes.
Traditional firefighting methods rely on centralized resources, but when fires break out in hard-to-reach areas, those resources may not be available quickly enough. That’s why a decentralized, fast-deploying solution like Trident Pump is a game-changer.
Why Fire Trucks Aren’t Always the Best Option
Limited Access in Remote Areas
Fire trucks are built for urban and suburban environments. On rough terrain, forest trails, or private land, their access is often restricted. Many fire trucks simply can’t reach the heart of a wildfire fast enough to stop it in its early stages.
Time-Consuming Deployment
Even if a fire truck can access the area, setting up hoses and water supply takes precious time. Wildfires can double in size within minutes, and waiting for arrival and setup time can mean losing critical ground.
High Operational Costs
Operating a fire truck involves significant manpower, fuel, and maintenance. For many rural communities and property owners, this is not a realistic or affordable first line of defense.
Why Trident Pump Is the Smarter Choice
Lightweight and Easy to Deploy
Unlike heavy fire trucks, Trident Pump systems are designed to be lightweight — weighing just a fraction of traditional diesel pumps. They can be deployed quickly by a small crew, often in just a few hours. This makes it possible to act before the fire spreads, not after.
Powerful Performance
Each Trident Pump delivers 165 HP, up to 1250 GPM (gallons per minute), and 190 PSI, ensuring a strong, steady water flow. This means you can cover large areas fast, without relying on fire trucks or distant water sources.
Extended Hose Reach
The Trident Protection System (TPS) comes fully equipped with:
- 1.6 km of 4-inch lay-flat hose
- A portable hose deployer
- 10 water thieves with valves
- 20 high-volume sprinklers
This allows coverage over wide areas, perfect for properties, ranches, and forested zones where trucks can’t go.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Protection
Reduced Emissions Compared to Diesel Pumps
Wildfire protection shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. Trident Pump uses 5 GPH of gas and produces drastically lower emissions than traditional diesel and two-stroke pumps. This makes it one of the most eco-friendly fire protection systems available.
Lower Operating Costs
With its efficient fuel use and easy deployment, Trident Pump offers cost-effective fire defense for individuals, businesses, and communities. It doesn’t require a large crew or costly maintenance like fire trucks.
Built for Real-World Wildfire Challenges

Fire Trucks vs. Trident Pump: A Quick Comparison
A Smarter Future for Fire Defense
The reality is simple: fire doesn’t wait. By the time a fire truck reaches a remote property, it may already be too late. Trident Pump changes this equation. Its power, mobility, and speed make it the best first line of defense against wildfires.
Instead of relying solely on distant resources, communities can protect their land from the start, gaining the time and power needed to stop fires before they grow.
Final Thoughts: Act Early, Protect More
Wildfires will continue to be a growing challenge, but how we respond can change the outcome. With Trident Pump, landowners, communities, and industries get a reliable, eco-friendly, and powerful tool to take action fast.
When fire strikes, speed saves, and Trident Pump delivers exactly that.
