In today’s episode of Fire Headlines, host Samantha Didion is joined by Chief Ken Kehmna to discuss an exciting innovation in wildfire fighting technology—a non-toxic fire retardant developed by two teenagers from Silicon Valley. Inspired by their firsthand experience with wildfire smoke, these young innovators have created a groundbreaking product called Clore, designed to protect properties from the devastating impact of wildfires, particularly in areas like Los Angeles.

Chief Kehmna shares his insights on the importance of non-toxic fire retardants, the evolving role of technology in firefighting, and how public-private collaborations are shaping the future of fire service.
