Our Story

A legacy of performance

With a clear focus on vehicle fire suppression, Carl Ward founded Envirotech Fire Systems in British Columbia, Canada. He acquired the vehicle fire suppression business from Kidde Vehicle Systems, providing the foundation for this initiative.

Carl has been a major distributor and installer of the KVS and Sentinel Vehicle Systems, leading thousands of installs on major equipment in mining, forestry, and construction vehicles in Canada.

Decades of experience servicing systems on those machines gives us unparalleled understanding of how the technology performs in real-world conditions.

Our mission is to continue to develop and expand our range of products by tapping into a legacy of technical strength and ongoing field experience.
