So far in 2022, 50,691 wildfires have burned 6,717,555 acres in the United States. This is the most wildfires-to-date in the past 10 years. Dehydration is a critical safety concern for firefighters, especially wildland firefighters who are carrying 50lbs of equipment while battling flames as hot as 1,472℉.
As part of our long-term partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), DripDrop launched our Firefighter Relief Donation Program in July, with a goal of distributing 400k servings to volunteer firefighters across the US. In addition, we provided over 90k servings to Wildland Fire Departments who are at great risk of dehydration as they help to prevent and fight wildfires this summer.
