San Diego is pioneering a new approach to fire prevention by using a citrus-based fire retardant called Citrotech. This innovative spray is designed to reduce the risk of wildfires by treating dry brush and vegetation in high-risk areas.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department has been actively spraying Citrotech along evacuation routes and near homeless encampments to prevent potential fire outbreaks. The spray is environmentally friendly and safe for use around homes, schools, pets, and children.
