The FORT was designed and developed by a team of experts with two decades of experience in producing emergency refuge chambers for the mining and tunneling industries. These chambers provide shelter and breathable air to sustain life during emergencies underground. Recognizing the potential of this technology, the team adapted it to help safeguard lives and properties during wildfires and other natural disasters.
The FORT features a layered, patent-pending, sandwich construction that withstands high-temperature burnovers, and effectively transfers heat away from the interior. The steel roof is sloped to prevent debris from accumulating on top, and the exterior features architectural metal siding, allowing for aesthetic personalization.
The entry doors have a proprietary double-door design that has been built and tested to endure intense wildfires.
