Wildfire Safety Requires a
Comprehensive Plan
The Reality of Wildfire Conditions
Most wildfire safety planning focuses exclusively on wildfire preparation and early action. But wildfire conditions can change rapidly — shifting weather, limited visibility, road closures, and fast-moving fire behavior can narrow options in real time. In those moments, having an additional layer of onsite protection can make the difference.
Protection Built Into the Plan
The FORT™ is an above-ground wildfire bunker designed to provide onsite refuge for people and belongings during wildfire conditions. Used alongside wildfire preparedness and responsible evacuation planning, it offers families a protected space when conditions make safe evacuation impossible.
Supports people and essential belongings during changing wildfire conditions, offering a protected space for both life safety and items that cannot be easily replaced.
Designed to integrate with defensible space, home hardening, and evacuation planning as part of a complete wildfire safety approach.
Can be adapted to fit your property layout, access points, and safety plan, helping it integrate naturally into your overall wildfire preparedness strategy.
Engineered and evaluated using recognized fire-resistance standards, designed to withstand wildfire burnover conditions including extreme heat, smoke, and environmental stress.
