Peace of  Mind with
Wildfire Suppression

We offer wildfire suppression system installations to rural property owners, ranches, vineyards, industrial work sites, municipalities and more!

The Three Ps

Prepare yourself for wildfires by ensuring that fire fuels within and surrounding your property are limited. This is done by removing deadfall, pine needle buildup, and other dry organic fire fuels. The less a fire has to burn, the better. Further preparation can be done by having fire suppression systems in place before it is too late, such as fence line sprinkler systems. When it comes to wildfires, it is best to be proactive rather than reactive. By having a fence line sprinkler system you can prevent a fire from breaching your property line, protecting your property and structures. Structures are further protected by having rooftop sprinkler systems as well as gutter mount sprinklers installed to the structure for the last line of defence.

Prepare

Have systems in place before hand and have limited fire fuels available for a fire to spread further.

Prevent

Prevent fire from breaching your property line by having a fence line fire suppression system in place to stop it in its tracks.

Protect

The last line of defence - this includes structure sprinklers to protect the home or building in the event of a wildfire.

rooftop sprinkler

Structure Sprinkler Suppression
Structure fire suppression services include installing roof and gutter mount sprinkler systems that eject water to soak the roof and surrounding area, preventing ember ignition. This will also suppress the fire if it comes close to the building. Rooftop sprinklers can reach a diameter of 60 ft or greater per unit. These are great for defending against wildfires and can also be used in suburban settings to prevent a neighboring house fire from spreading to your home and causing property damage.

property line

Property Line Suppression
Our property line fire suppression installation service includes sprinklers installed to the fence line or property perimeter. These include fence mounted sprinklers and stake style sprinklers driven into the ground and connected by either hose or pipe, depending on your chosen option. Property line sprinklers will soak the ground and trees nearby the chosen location, preventing ember ignition and slowing or even stopping a growing fire before it breaches into your property.

dead fall

Dead fall & Brush Clearing
Brush and dead fall clearing involves removing low-lying vegetation, tangled undergrowth, and fallen trees to enhance land use, improve safety, and reduce fire hazards.

reservoir

Water Tank Installation
Our water tank installation service includes supplying and installing water tanks of any size available on the market to feed your fire suppression system. Why have your own water supply? Often, when a wildfire reaches a residential area, the fire department may turn off water to your home and neighborhood to achieve maximum water pressure for its firefighting equipment. By having your own independent water reservoir you can run your fire suppression system without interruption. These also work excellently for remote areas that lack a steady water supply or infrastructure.

house fire

Suburban Fire Suppression
For homes within city limits that may not be at a great risk for wildfires, sprinklers can be installed to protect your home in the event of a neighboring house fire.

What will my fire suppression

system look like?


We offer a wide range of options based on your budget and needs: basic installations consisting of heavy duty hoses and sprinklers, premium installations consisting of steel water pipes with powder coating options available for custom colors, and copper pipe. By using pipe we create a permanent system that will last for decades when installed on a fence line, or the duration of the roof if installed on roofs.
The benefit of using pipe on your roof or fence line is the durability. It can stay there for decades after installation, or if installed on roofs, it will last the duration of the roof's life. The pipe also stands 3" above the roof deck to allow for proper water flow year round, and is strong enough that snow will not move it or cause damage.
We offer manual operation and automatic operation options you can operate from your mobile device to allow for access from a distance.
To discuss options in detail, please reach out to us using our online request a quote form, or give us a call! Our team will work with you to create a custom installation to suit your needs.
