Home Hardening: Western Wildfire Systems excels in identifying and addressing structural vulnerabilities that make homes prone to ignition, particularly from wind-blown embers, a primary cause of home loss during wildfires. Services encompass the assessment and the establishment of crucial defensible space around properties. This proactive approach significantly enhances a home's ability to withstand wildfire exposure.
Advanced Fire Protection: The company offers robust fire protection solutions by integrating systems designed for effective suppression. These systems are tailored to the specific needs of residential properties situated in high-risk zones, providing an essential layer of defense when wildfires approach.
Hydration Sprinkler Systems: Western Wildfire Systems designs and installs state-of-the-art hydration sprinkler systems. These systems are engineered to saturate a home's immediate surroundings upon activation, creating a high-humidity micro-environment that effectively prevents ignition from embers and radiant heat, thus offering invaluable protection during a wildfire event.
Custom Fire Pump Construction and Installation: Ensuring adequate water pressure and volume is critical for effective wildfire defense for properties, relying on independent water sources like pools or tanks. Western Wildfire Systems possesses specialized expertise in the fire pump construction, custom design, and installation of high-performance fire pump systems. These systems are meticulously engineered to meet the specific demands of each property's hydration sprinkler and fire protection setup, guaranteeing reliable water delivery when it matters most.
What is a Western Wildfire Systems custom wildfire protection system?
A Western Wildfire Systems custom wildfire protection system is a professionally designed setup that uses high-pressure water pumps to help mitigate the impact of wildfires on your home or business. Each system is tailored to the unique layout, vegetation, and fire-risk level of your property.
How does your system operate without municipal water or power?
Western Wildfire Systems are engineered with off-grid functionality. We use independent water storage tanks, high-capacity pumps, pools and backup power solutions such as Solar batteries or gas powered generators. This ensures the system can operate even when local infrastructure is unavailable during a wildfire event.
Can your system be activated remotely or automatically?
Yes. Depending on the design, systems can include remote activation through app-based controls, or manual options on-site. We work with you to determine the best fit for your property’s needs.
What components are included in a typical system?
While each system is customized, common components include:
* Water storage tanks (High Quality, Enviormentally Safe)
* Fire-resistant Gas Powered Water pumps
* High-temperature hoses, Pipes and Sprinklers
* Ember-blocking vents
How long does installation take?
Most systems can be installed within 2–4 weeks after final design approval. Larger or more complex properties may take longer, especially if additional engineering, trenching or grading work is required.
What kind of maintenance is required?
We recommend monthly testing of the pump and activation system by the owner.
Will the system affect my landscaping or property appearance?
We design with aesthetics in mind. Tanks and equipment can often be partially buried, screened with landscaping, or color-matched to blend in with surroundings. The goal is to maintain both functionality and curb appeal.
Can the system protect my outbuildings, fences, or driveways?
Yes. Systems can be extended to include garages, barns, guest houses, perimeter fencing, and more. We evaluate all structures on your property and include custom coverage zones as needed.
Is this system designed for both residential and commercial use?
Absolutely. We serve homeowners, business owners, ranches, wineries, schools, and more. Every system is scaled and engineered according to the size and use of the property.
How much does a custom wildfire system cost?
Costs vary significantly based on property size, terrain, water source needs, and system complexity. We offer free consultations and quotes to provide a clearer picture tailored to your property.
Do you offer emergency installations during fire season?
While we do our best to expedite installations when risk is high, we strongly encourage proactive installation well ahead of peak fire season. Lead times may vary depending on demand and regional access restrictions.
