Reno Wildfire: Why Isn’t EPA Safer Choice Chemistry Being Used Now?

Hawk Fire Reno NV

As the fast-moving Hawk Fire threatens the Reno area today, August 23, 2026, the question needs to be asked: Why isn’t every proven, available wildfire-defense chemistry being considered?

For years, the EPA Safer Choice chemistry has been demonstrated on vegetation in front of fire officials in Reno and across the United States.

Wildfire Pro Shop is prepared to mobilize thousands of gallons of the EPA Safer Choice chemistry, professional spray rigs, and a 2,000-gallon tanker truck to help protect vegetation and property.

This chemistry is designed to be applied proactively to vegetation ahead of approaching wildfire, creating another layer of defense alongside firefighters, water, aircraft, and established suppression tactics.

If safer chemistry can provide firefighters and communities with another tool, why wouldn’t we put it to work when lives, homes, businesses, and communities are threatened?

Residents facing evacuation deserve to know what wildfire-defense resources are available and why they are or are not being deployed.
