Zone control & water placement
Whether you can water only the threatened side.
FireShield (sponsored)
Automated exterior wildfire defense: roof, eave, and perimeter sprinklers that track live fire perimeters and can start on their own. You set trigger distance and countdown in the app (defaults 6 miles / 9 minutes). Choose which zones run, foam or water per start, and schedule ahead — a closer fire still overrides the schedule. Solid-state firmware controller with pressure-isolated standby, pool/tank/well failover, and Wi-Fi + cellular + satellite links.
- Owner-set activation distance and countdown (not fixed constants)
- Zone control — water the threatened side, not the whole perimeter
- Per-fire STOP / MUTE with automatic re-arm if that fire closes in
- Full-resolution fire perimeters + live wind map over your property
- Up to 36 zones; your contractor or theirs; 5-year warranty

FireRoofs
Custom exterior wildfire sprinkler systems for Bay Area homes and estates. Roofline and perimeter coverage designed after evaluating roof geometry, vegetation, water pressure, terrain, and fire corridors. Optional Class A foam, dual-detection technology, and satellite-linked control so the system can run after evacuation. Also specifies State Fire Marshal-listed home-hardening products (vents, decking, siding).
waveGUARD
Patented exterior spray platform that activates from IR flame/heat detectors. When triggered, it wets the whole structure plus a 30–40 ft perimeter at once with water and plant-based retardant — no staggered zone cycling. Self-contained water and retardant reservoirs with battery backup so it can run without municipal water or utility power.
Matador Fire
Multi-layer SoCal wildfire defense: deployable retardant barrels you spray before evacuation, seasonal long-term retardant on surrounding vegetation, and ember-resistant vent mesh. Focus is layered mitigation and home readiness rather than a single fully autonomous roof-sprinkler controller. Assessment-led recommendations for which layers fit the property.
