WASP Wildfire Expands Nationally with Launch of WASP Wildfire Atlantic
WASP Wildfire, a Canadian leader in wildfire structure protection equipment and deployment solutions, is proud to announce its expansion into Atlantic Canada with the launch of WASP Wildfire Atlantic.
This new regional presence strengthens WASP’s national footprint and brings proven wildfire protection equipment, hands-on deployment expertise, and faster access to specialized resources to communities across the Maritimes.
“We’re excited to bring our expertise to the Maritimes,” said Randy Cowling, President and CEO of WASP Wildfire. “Our expansion into Atlantic Canada allows us to deliver proven structure protection equipment, real deployment experience, and faster local support to communities that are facing a changing wildfire reality.”
Founded in Kelowna, British Columbia, in the heart of Canada’s most wildfire-affected region, WASP Wildfire designs and supplies equipment built specifically for real-world wildfire conditions. Its solutions have been tested, refined, and proven during intense wildfire seasons characterized by fast-moving fires, wind-driven embers, and complex wildland-urban interface exposures.
WASP Wildfire specializes in wildfire structure protection, including Type 2 Structure Protection Units (SPUs), patented WASP Gutter Mount Sprinkler Brackets, and a full suite of suppression tools such as pumps, hoses, water storage systems, and deployment accessories.
Today, WASP equipment is trusted by more than 250 fire departments across Canada, as well as First Nations emergency services and provincial wildfire agencies. While Atlantic Canada has historically faced fewer large-scale wildfires, changing climate conditions, longer dry seasons, and increased interface development are driving longer fire seasons and a growing need for specialized, locally available wildfire protection resources.
WASP Wildfire Atlantic was established to meet these evolving needs by providing regional access to proven wildfire protection systems, reducing response times and logistical delays, and supporting local fire departments, municipalities, utilities, and private industry.
The expansion also reinforces WASP’s commitment to strengthening community resilience through preparedness, training, and reliable equipment availability. Built for Atlantic Canada and backed by national experience, WASP Wildfire Atlantic is focused on helping communities prepare before wildfire strikes.
