Wildfire Safety Systems delivers innovative wildfire protection services designed to help homeowners, estates, and communities prepare for, withstand, and survive wildfire threats. Our mission is simple: to give you every possible layer of protection, from practical preparedness resources to proven last-resort refuge solutions when evacuation is not possible.
Our flagship innovation, the FORT™ (Fire-resistant Onsite Refuge Technology), represents a breakthrough in personal wildfire safety. Built and tested to endure direct burnover conditions, each FORT™ provides four hours of breathable air and structural protection for up to eight occupants. It’s the final safeguard in a complete wildfire protection plan, engineered for the rare but devastating scenarios where escape routes are blocked and survival depends on immediate shelter.
Wildfire Safety Systems is an independent company established by innovators at Strata Products Worldwide, a trusted leader in underground refuge and safety technology since 1992. Strata’s decades of experience developing emergency refuge chambers for mining, tunneling, and maritime environments form the foundation of the FORT™s design. This heritage ensures that every WSS solution meets the highest standards of safety, reliability, and real-world performance.
From preparedness education to refuge innovation, our commitment is to help you protect what matters most: your family, your home, and your peace of mind.
