CitroTech (CITR) and geospatial risk firm Athena Intelligence announced a strategic partnership to apply layered environmental intelligence to proactive wildfire prevention. Athena’s Voice of the Acre® platform combines block-level risk profiling with pixel-level fire behavior and treatment modeling, drawing on dozens of environmental and wildfire data sources. CitroTech’s laboratory and field performance data are integrated to model how its fire inhibitors change expected fire behavior, such as flame height and rate of spread.
The collaboration targets residential wildfire protection, utilities, municipalities, and insurers, including integration with CitroSafe™ home wildfire defense systems for automated deployment decisions. Athena has produced more than 38,000 geospatial fire-behavior profiles across the western United States and has digitally mapped CitroTech’s performance across 48% of these profiles. Analysis indicates an approximately 50% reduction in key fire-behavior characteristics under real-world conditions.
CitroTech (CITR)/b) reports accelerating commercial adoption of its EPA Safer Choice-recognized wildfire prevention technology as customers and partners move away from phosphate-based fire retardants.In recent months, the company generated what its CEO describes as hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct product sales to railroads, utilities and county fire agencies, while demand through its certified partner network has increased among homeowners, businesses and community organizations. CitroTech’s network now includes more than 30 certified application partners across parts of the United States and Canada, many of which previously relied on phosphate-based products.
The company produces the only long-term fire retardant recognized under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Choice program, with a formulation that contains no phosphates, PFAS or detectable heavy metals. CitroTech expects adoption to grow as regulatory scrutiny of legacy retardants increases and as railroads, utilities, transportation agencies and potentially the U.S. military evaluate alternatives.

The combined platform targets Wildland-Urban Interface communities, utility transmission corridors, and railway rights-of-way, deploying ground-based, continuous perimeter retardant buffers up to 600 feet wide, months before ignition. Using Spatial AI, precision deployment, and IoT telemetry, the system supports property-level risk attestation for municipalities and insurance underwriters, with initial deployment focused on high-risk corridors across North America’s energy grids, rail routes, and municipal boundary zones.
