As longtime Malibu residents who have lived through the devastation of the last two major fires, we know firsthand the importance of being prepared.
Our comprehensive wildfire defense solutions include installing non-combustible exterior veneers, boxed eaves, and ember-resistant vents; designing and installing advanced exterior sprinkler systems; and applying our eco-friendly fire retardants to yards and landscapes, homes under construction, and entire properties as an emergency response during active wildfires.
Every property is unique, and we’ll carefully assess yours to recommend tailored solutions that provide lasting protection — and peace of mind.
Our team proudly serves all of Southern California. Contact us today to integrate wildfire defense into your home or business.

EMERGENCY FIRE DEFENSE
Rapid response fire retardant application during wildfires.
Exterior Fire Hardening
After we help you select the right non-combustible exterior veneers — fiber-cement that looks like wood or finishes that resemble stone, brick, stucco, or metal — we install them to create a continuous, fire-resistant shell around your home. These materials don’t ignite under radiant heat or flying embers, preventing fire from taking hold on your exterior.
We also box in open eaves, sealing off one of the most common ignition points during wildfires. Enclosed eaves stop heat and embers from collecting beneath your roofline and protect attic structures from ignition.
Finally, we install ember-resistant vents with fine metal mesh and heat-activated coatings that swell shut under extreme temperatures — preventing embers from entering attics and crawl spaces.
Together, these upgrades form a hardened exterior envelope that dramatically reduces your home’s wildfire vulnerability.
Advanced Exterior Sprinkler Systems
Our advanced exterior sprinkler systems are custom-designed to create a protective, high-humidity barrier around your property when wildfire threatens. We strategically position high-pressure sprinklers along the roofline, under eaves, and around defensible space zones to soak your home’s exterior and nearby vegetation, raising humidity and cooling surfaces to reduce ignition risk.
Each system is engineered for your specific site — accounting for slope, wind direction, and surrounding vegetation — and can draw water from multiple sources, including dedicated storage tanks or your existing pool. Backup generators and smart controllers ensure your system stays operational even during power outages or water shutoffs.
Our sprinkler systems can be activated manually or remotely through our mobile app, giving you control from anywhere, even if evacuation orders are in place. This proactive layer of protection not only buys valuable time for first responders but can make the difference between a near miss and a total loss.
Fire-Resistant Landscaping Treatments
Our fire-resistant landscaping treatments are designed to slow or stop the spread of wildfire before it reaches your home. We apply eco-friendly, non-toxic fire retardants to vegetation, mulch, fences, and other vulnerable exterior materials to help them resist ignition and ember spread. These advanced formulas bind to organic surfaces, creating an invisible protective layer that can withstand heat and ember exposure for weeks or even months.
Beyond treatments, we evaluate your property’s defensible space — clearing excess fuel, spacing vegetation, and recommending fire-resistant plant species to maintain both safety and beauty. The result is a landscape that not only looks natural, but is also engineered to interrupt fire pathways and protect your home’s perimeter.
Framing Stage Protection
Homes are never more vulnerable to wildfire than during construction, when exposed wood framing can ignite quickly from embers or radiant heat. Our early-stage fire-retardant application safeguards your project during this critical phase — and more importantly, it locks in long-term fire protection before the walls are even closed.
We apply eco-friendly, non-toxic fire retardants directly to structural framing, sheathing, and other combustible materials, forming a durable, protective coating that resists ignition and slows flame spread for years to come. This treatment becomes a permanent layer of defense within your home’s structure.
We coordinate directly with builders and contractors to schedule treatment at the optimal stage of framing, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards while integrating seamlessly into your construction timeline.
Emergency Fire Defense
When wildfire conditions escalate, our Emergency Wildfire Response team mobilizes quickly to apply eco-friendly, non-toxic fire retardants to homes, businesses, and surrounding landscapes. These advanced formulations create a temporary, protective coating that resists ignition and slows flame spread — providing a vital buffer between your property and approaching fire.
We apply retardant to exterior walls, roofs, fences, vegetation, and other combustible materials, forming a heat- and ember-resistant barrier that can remain effective for weeks, even through moderate weather exposure.
Our team monitors local fire activity and is ready to deploy rapidly during high-risk events, giving property owners extra peace of mind when wildfires threaten nearby.
FAQ Our Advanced Exterior Sprinkler System Explained
-
Designed for Los Angeles homes, our high-pressure sprinkler system creates a protective shield by soaking your property and surrounding space. This added moisture helps stop embers, reduces heat, and forms a microclimate that slows advancing flames—crucial protection in wildfire zones.
-
Our systems are built with Southern California’s water conservation standards in mind. A typical home setup can run 4–6 hours on just 5,000 gallons. We design within local regulations, provide storage solutions that meet LA County requirements, and can even use your pool as a backup water source if you have one.
-
Yes. Because California’s Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) often coincide with wildfire risk, our systems are equipped with both generator and battery backup options. If grid power fails, the backup activates automatically, keeping your system running when it’s needed most.
-
Our Los Angeles County team typically completes installations within 2–3 weeks of your property assessment. During peak fire season, we prioritize high-risk areas and also offer expedited options when time is critical.
-
Yes. Our team includes a former LA Fire Chief, and our systems are designed in alignment with LA County Fire Department guidelines. We maintain strong partnerships with local fire authorities to ensure our systems enhance and complement their efforts in your community.
-
Yes—in a good way. Many insurers recognize our systems as a proven wildfire risk-reduction measure. Customers in high-risk areas have reported premium discounts of up to 20%, and we provide all documentation needed for California insurance requirements.
