Wildfire Safety

Wildfire safety isn’t a single action. It’s a system of proactive steps that protect your family, property, and community. From reducing ignition risks to building defensible space and having a backup refuge plan, each layer matters.

At Wildfire Safety Systems, we believe in a three-part approach:

1. Prevent ignition – Minimize wildfire risks around your home and property.
2. Prepare early – Create defensible space, harden your home, and plan evacuation routes.
3. Protect when all else fails – If escape is impossible, a FORT™ (Fire-resistant Onsite Refuge Technology) provides a last-resort safe haven.

Prevent: Reducing the Risk

Every fire you prevent helps protect your community. Fire prevention focuses on minimizing hazards that can lead to ignition such as clearing vegetation, maintaining defensible space, and avoiding unsafe burning practices. Learn more about how to make your property more fire-resilient.

Prepare: Strengthening Your Defenses

Wildfire preparedness ensures your home and family are ready long before flames appear. This includes creating a go-bag, hardening your home, and establishing clear evacuation routes.

Wildfire Preparedness

Protect: When Evacuation Isn’t Possible

While evacuation should always be your first choice, some conditions make leaving impossible, including blocked roads, downed trees, or rapidly advancing flames. For those moments, Wildfire Safety Systems developed the FORT™, a tested, fire-resistant onsite refuge built with life-sustaining air systems and structural integrity proven through real burnover simulations.

It’s not a replacement for evacuation; it’s a life-saving fallback when evacuation fails.
