Welcome to the volunteer application webpage for the National Disaster Animal Response Team (N-DART) of The Humane Society of the United States.

This is why we appreciate and value your interest in joining us to help provide valuable disaster response services to animals and their human companions in their time of need. By applying to become a member of our team, we trust that you recognize the importance of this undertaking and the tremendous opportunity it represents. See less

The perfect accompaniment to any fire starter, WetFire can help you get a blaze going even in a downpour. In fact, the cubes actually burn longer when wet! WetFire was developed for military personnel, anyone who needs to start a fire can benefit from this amazing fire starting tinder. For decades, mountain climbers have struggled with gooey fire starting gels to light their stoves at high altitude. Not only messy, these gels are hard to use. At high altitude you have enough to worry about without wasting energy trying to light an uncooperative stove. With WetFire Tinder, this problem is solved. Just sprinkle a small amount of tinder shavings around the backpacker stove, and it lights instantly. No goo, no mess, no hassle. | WetFire starting tinder was born from the need for a universal lighting material that was safe, odorless, easy-to-carry, and unaffected by wind or water. Elite military troops can find themselves anywhere, in any kind of weather. They require something that will... See less
