Deep In the Toughest Terrain Fire Safety is Crucial

Deep In the Toughest Terrain Fire Safety is Crucial

H3R Performance | February 23, 2026

Across the deserts of California and Nevada, two racers took on one of the most unforgiving endurance navigation events in North America, and they carried H3R Performance protection every mile of the way.

The Rebelle Rally is a one-of-a-kind off-road competition: all-women teams, a driver and navigator with no phones, no GPS, and no electronic navigation aids of any kind.

Each day, teams hand over their phones and rely entirely on skill, preparation, and teamwork to cross thousands of miles of remote terrain.

"The Rebelle Rally demands everything from a team. Focus, endurance, preparation, and absolute trust in your gear," said Lisa DeLuca of Team Ultimate Rebellion.

Over the course of eight punishing days, DeLuca and teammate Brittony Marenco navigated high mountain passes, dusty lake beds, sharp rocky climbs, and the vast expanse of the Mojave.

As part of the Rebelle Rally's strict safety requirements, every team must carry an easily accessible fire extinguisher that's a minimum of five pounds. Lisa's team chose H3R Performance extinguishers.

The confidence of having competition-ready fire protection close at hand mattered every single day.

"Knowing we had reliable, top-tier fire extinguishers within arm's reach meant we could focus fully on navigation, driving, and teamwork without a second thought. That peace of mind is something we didn't take for granted for a single mile," DeLuca said.

From frigid morning starts to late campsite checks, wrenching on the truck, cooking at camp, and pushing through storms, sand dunes, and rocky mountain passes, H3R extinguishers were a key part of their setup.

Despite hidden underwater rocks that sliced a tire and cost them precious time, the team finished eighth overall and second among privateer teams.

At H3R Performance, we're proud to support racers who put preparation and safety first. And we're excited to see teams like Ultimate Rebellion prove what determination, skill, and trust in the right gear can achieve.

Congratulations to Team Ultimate Rebellion on an incredible Rebelle Rally finish. We're honored to have been part of the journey.

Stay safe,
H3R Performance
