The FORT

Fire-resistant Onsite Refuge Technology (FORT)

Advanced Features.
Enhanced Safety.

In the event that a wildfire prevents your evacuation, a FORT provides immediate safety and shelter to protect your family, pets, and possessions. It is a secure safe haven designed to withstand intense heat and flames from wildfires, and provides breathable air and essential supplies during emergencies. The FORT is equipped with communication technology that allows for connection to emergency services, news updates, and communication with loved ones.

Developed by a company with two decades of experience in emergency refuge chambers for underground mining and tunneling, the FORT is built using advanced construction technology and safety features, and has undergone extensive third-party testing. The internal breathing air system has been configured and tested in accordance with the standards set by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the requirements of the Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for underground mining.

Peace of Mind

A FORT can provide life-saving protection for you and your family if you are unable to evacuate your property during a wildfire.
It can also:
  • Provide you and your family peace of mind
  • Minimize the financial loss by protecting valuables
  • Potentially help insurability

"I have responded to wildfires in California for 33 years (1987-2020). I have seen fires change from “normal” wildfires to climate change-driven, extremely destructive, and community-replacing wildfires. I have also helped develop the post-fire damage inspection process.

Just like when a tornado comes people need a safe place to shelter if they are not able to escape in time. The FORT is an option to provide that life protection as a last resort."

-Mike Wilson, Retired Division Chief for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
