A first-of-its-kind San Diego pilot reduced encampment-related fires, with zero reignitions in treated areas. Building on that result, the City of San Diego and CitroTech Inc. (NYSE American:
$CITR ) are expanding the program. San Diego Fire-Rescue will more than double its deployment of CitroTech's EPA-recognized long-term fire inhibitor across high-risk communities, former encampment sites, and critical evacuation corridors.

"CitroTech has shown itself to be an effective tool for reducing fire risk in locations where traditional fuel management staffing and funding is limited," said Tony Tosca, Deputy Chief, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Public funding and pilot data support the scale-up:
• A new
$1.5 million state grant from California District 76 supports the expansion, including the purchase of
$200,000 worth of CitroTech product
• The 2025 pilot, funded by a
$367,000 San Diego River Conservancy grant, treated 467 acres throughout the San Diego River watershed, including more than 36 former encampment sites
• CitroTech is the only long-term fire inhibitor recognized under the EPA Safer Choice program and the first to meet its Clean Water Act standards. It is formulated to reduce fire risk without introducing harmful chemicals or heavy metals into ecosystems
• Treated sites have been, and will continue to be, mapped and made publicly viewable through the City's ArcGIS platform
