JOHNSON VALLEY, Calif. (Jan. 7, 2025) – King of the Hammers, known as the toughest series of one-day off-road races in the world, is excited to announce that the Rusoh Eliminator will return as the official fire extinguisher of the 2025 King of the Hammers Powered by OPTIMA Batteries. The partnership between KOH and Rusoh will offer continued safety for competitors throughout one of the world’s most challenging off-road competitions. Since 2016, Rusoh has worked to innovate the fire safety industry with self-serviceable and reloadable extinguishers. The Rusoh Eliminator relies on its easy-to-use design, which saves time in an emergency. Rusoh joined KOH in 2024 as the official extinguisher partner, and the continued sponsorship will provide safety to competitors and participants on the lakebed throughout the event. “Aside from the obvious safety benefits, this growing partnership with Rusoh is a huge benefit to King of Hammers,” said Mike Jams, chief executive officer of Hammerking Productions. “At KOH, we want to ensure the utmost safety for everyone attending and competing in the event.
