Non-Fluorinated Foam Transition: Fire Suppression for a Cleaner Future

Jun 11, 2025

Changes are coming to fire suppression standards across Canada! The move toward non-fluorinated foams (F3s) is gaining speed. Non-fluorinated firefighting foams (F3) are becoming the new standard across many industries due to increased environmental scrutiny and legislative changes.

These environmentally friendly alternatives are designed to deliver effective fire protection while reducing environmental and health concerns associated with PFAS-containing foams. 

At Everguard Fire Safety, we’re here to help you stay up to date with the safest technology in the industry. Whether you’re planning a system retrofit or just want more info on approved alternatives, our team is ready to guide you.

Now is the time to assess and update your systems!
If your facility is still using fluorinated foams, Everguard can help you make the switch safely and in compliance with emerging regulations.
