Henry Repeating Arms is releasing a 50-rifle limited series to help wildland firefighter Joel Eisiminger pay for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The company announced the project in a Henry Repeating Arms's press release dated March 17, 2026.
What Was Announced
The "Joel's Wildfire" series is built on the Golden Boy Silver and is part of Henry's Guns For Great Causes program. Eisiminger, who is originally from Southern Oregon, spent six wildfire seasons fighting fires across the American West. He was diagnosed with AML in July 2024 while deployed to a fire in Northern California, one day before his 25th birthday. His story ran in The New York Times and drew attention to the lack of respiratory protection for wildland firefighters. In November 2025, lawmakers introduced the Healthy Lungs for Heroes Act (S.3183), which would reverse a decades-old rule banning respirator use.

- Quantity: 50 rifles
