Pricing:Quote-based — free property inspection

Automated exterior wildfire defense: roof, eave, and perimeter sprinklers that track live fire perimeters and can start on their own. You set trigger distance and countdown in the app (defaults 6 miles / 9 minutes). Choose which zones run, foam or water per start, and schedule ahead — a closer fire still overrides the schedule. Solid-state firmware controller with pressure-isolated standby, pool/tank/well failover, and Wi-Fi + cellular + satellite links.

  • Owner-set activation distance and countdown (not fixed constants)
  • Zone control — water the threatened side, not the whole perimeter
  • Per-fire STOP / MUTE with automatic re-arm if that fire closes in
  • Full-resolution fire perimeters + live wind map over your property
  • Up to 36 zones; your contractor or theirs; 5-year warranty
Why FireShield ranks #1 here
  • You decide how close a fire must get and how long to wait before spraying
  • Stopping or muting one fire does not disarm protection against others
  • Pressure-isolated standby and solid-state firmware built for years of waiting
  • Designed, built, installed and serviced by one Los Angeles team

Multi-layer SoCal wildfire defense: deployable retardant barrels you spray before evacuation, seasonal long-term retardant on surrounding vegetation, and ember-resistant vent mesh. Focus is layered mitigation and home readiness rather than a single fully autonomous roof-sprinkler controller. Assessment-led recommendations for which layers fit the property.

  • Southern California regional focus
  • Deployable retardant + seasonal vegetation treatment
  • Ember-resistant vent installation
  • Assessment-first, layered home-hardening approach
