We Evaluate Your Property. Engineer a System Around It. Then We Build It.
Automated sprinklers that detect fire, activate on their own, and wet every surface where embers land. Home hardening that seals every gap. One documentation package for your insurer.
Four Steps. One Team. A Home That Can Defend Itself.
Every property is different. The terrain, the vegetation, the roof material, the exposures. That is why every FireRoofs system starts with a site visit, not a sales pitch.
Request a Private Consultation
Schedule a 45-minute visit. We come to your property and walk every side of the house, the roof, the vegetation, the fencing, the vents, all of it. No cost, no commitment.
We Find Every Vulnerability
Where do embers land? Where does radiant heat reach? What burns first? We photograph every weak point and map the risk from roof to property line.
You Get a Complete Roadmap
A written plan that covers home hardening, defensible space, and an exterior sprinkler system engineered for your specific property. Real numbers. Real timeline. No guesswork.
We Build It and Commission It
Built by a FireRoofs Vetted Installer: vetted, licensed and insured, and may differ by job location. Copper pipe. We test every zone and hand you the documentation your insurer needs.
45 minutes at your property. No cost. No commitment.
Three Zones. Every Surface.
Embers do not pick one landing spot. They hit the roof, push into the eaves, and ignite the brush around your foundation. Our system puts water on all three targets at once, so nothing dries out while something else burns.
Zone 01
Roof Zone
Rotating sprinklers saturate the entire roofline including ridges, valleys, and gutters. Coverage extends 20 feet past the roofline to protect patios, decks, and surrounding landscaping. Copper pipe throughout.
Have a metal roof? Metal does not burn, but radiant heat still damages what is underneath it and embers land in everything around it. We shift the sprinkler focus to the eaves and perimeter where your property is actually vulnerable.
Zone 02
Eave Zone
This is where most homes ignite. Eave-mounted nozzles target soffits, vents, and the junction where roof meets wall. Passive hardening helps, but it cannot keep these surfaces wet. These nozzles can.
Eave sprinklers also protect exterior walls from radiant heat, keeping siding, windows, and trim wet during the critical minutes when a fire front passes.
Zone 03
Perimeter Zone
Perimeter sprinklers point outward from the structure, saturating surrounding vegetation and tree lines up to 35 feet beyond the property. This is the buffer between your home and whatever is burning in the brush.
Zone Zero is the most important defensible space boundary, and most homeowners struggle to maintain it perfectly. These sprinklers flood that zone with water when it matters most.
Two Layers of Detection. Neither One Needs You Home.
Two independent detection layers, regional satellite monitoring and on-property cameras, so the system does not depend on a single source.
Regional Satellite Monitoring
Around the Clock
Tracks fire activity in your region 24 hours a day. When fire is detected, the system starts watering and you get a push notification.
On-Property Camera Detection
Close-In View
Cameras watch your immediate surroundings. As the threat rises, the sprinklers run more often and for longer.
You Get a Push Notification. Not a Phone Call.
The FireRoofs app shows you exactly what your system is doing in real time. Live system status, camera feeds, nearby wildfire alerts, and manual sprinkler controls if you ever want them.
Satellite internet is recommended so the app keeps working if local internet fails.

From Detection to Defense: What Happens Step by Step
Here is what happens from the moment a fire is detected to the moment your system returns to standby. Every step is automatic. You do not need to be home.
Satellite Wildfire Monitoring
Around the Clock
Regional satellite wildfire monitoring tracks fire activity near your home 24 hours a day. When fire is detected, the system starts watering and sends you a push notification.
Layer 1 of dual wildfire detection. No human intervention required.
On-Property Camera Detection
A Close-In View
On-property cameras watch the immediate surroundings of your home and give you a live view from the app.

Automated Threat Escalation
Water at Every Level
The system waters at every threat level. As the threat rises, the sprinklers run more often and for longer. There is no button to push.
Push notification at every threat level change.
Roof, Eave, and Perimeter Sprinkler Activation
All Three Zones
Roof sprinklers throw water 30 to 35 feet across every roof plane. Eave sprinklers protect the most common ember entry points. Perimeter sprinklers wet Zone 0 and the defensible space around the structure.
Copper pipe throughout. Built by a FireRoofs Vetted Installer.
Optional Class A Foam Deployment
Maximum Surface Protection
For Fortress tier properties, Class A foam is injected through the same sprinkler heads already delivering water. Foam clings to surfaces, holds moisture longer than water alone, and creates a fire-resistant barrier between water cycles. 100% biodegradable, non-toxic to plants, pets, and wildlife.
Foam is always optional. Rinses clean through automated rinse cycle.
Automatic Rinse, Reset, and System Confirmation
Back to Standby
Once the threat clears the system enters an automated rinse cycle and returns all zones to standby. A post-event status report is sent to the FireRoofs app. No cleanup crew. No manual reset. The system is ready for the next threat.
Full post-event status report delivered to the app.
Home Hardening: Closing Every Gap Embers Can Find
Sprinklers fight fire actively. Hardening makes your home harder to burn in the first place. We handle both under one scope of work, so nothing gets missed between contractors.
Ember-Resistant Vents
Replace standard attic and foundation vents with ember- and flame-resistant models that block ember intrusion while maintaining airflow.
FireRoofs coordinatedNoncombustible Fencing
Replace combustible fencing within 5 feet of the structure with steel, masonry, or other noncombustible materials that break the fuel path from property line to home.
FireRoofs coordinatedZone Zero Clearance
Remove all combustible material within 0 to 5 feet of the structure. No mulch, no stored firewood, no combustible planters against the foundation.
FireRoofs coordinatedEnclosed Eaves and Soffits
Box in open eaves and soffits to eliminate ember traps at the roof-wall junction, one of the most common ignition points in WUI fires.
FireRoofs coordinatedExterior Wall Cladding
Install noncombustible or ignition-resistant wall cladding from grade to roofline, reducing radiant heat exposure and direct flame contact risk.
FireRoofs coordinatedYour Insurance Situation Shapes the Plan
Not every homeowner starts in the same place. Some have an active policy. Some have received a non-renewal notice. Some are already on the FAIR Plan. We adjust the scope and timeline accordingly.
Evaluate Your Insurance Situation
We review your current coverage, any non-renewal notices, and your carrier requirements to determine which mitigation categories matter most for your specific situation.
Prioritize High-Impact Mitigation
If you have a non-renewal deadline, we front-load the categories your carrier weighs most heavily. If you are already on the FAIR Plan, we build toward the documentation package that supports an exit strategy.
Coordinate Active and Passive Scope
Sprinkler installation and home hardening are scheduled to minimize disruption. One project manager coordinates all trades so nothing falls through the cracks.
Document Every Phase
Pre-installation assessment, material specifications, progress photography, and final system documentation are compiled into a single Evidence Packet documented against the Safer from Wildfires categories the project touches.
Deliver the Evidence Packet
You receive a completed documentation package designed to support insurance discount applications, non-renewal appeals, and FAIR Plan exit strategies.

Water Supply: What Happens When the Grid Fails
Municipal Supply
The system draws from your home’s existing water supply at operating pressure.
Automatic Failover
If municipal pressure drops the system automatically switches to your pool, storage tank, or secondary source. No manual valves.
Backup Power
Runs on your home's generator or whole-home battery. Satellite internet is recommended.
The January 2025 Palisades Fire demonstrated why this matters. Municipal water infrastructure failed under demand. FireRoofs systems with independent water sources continued operating.

Questions About How the System Works
How do automated wildfire sprinklers and home hardening work together?
Automated sprinklers provide active defense by saturating exterior surfaces during a fire event. Home hardening provides passive defense by making the structure itself more resistant to ember intrusion and radiant heat. Together they are documented against the Safer from Wildfires categories the project touches.
What is the difference between active and passive wildfire defense?
Active defense includes automated exterior sprinklers that detect threats and deploy water and optional Class A foam before fire arrives. Passive defense includes structural modifications like ember-resistant vents, noncombustible fencing, enclosed eaves, and Zone Zero clearance. FireRoofs provides both under one scope of work.
Does the system work if I have already evacuated?
Yes. The system activates automatically based on dual sensor detection, not homeowner action. The FireRoofs app sends push notifications so you can monitor conditions remotely after evacuating.
What documentation does FireRoofs provide for insurance?
FireRoofs provides a comprehensive Evidence Packet including pre-installation property assessment, material specifications with manufacturer data sheets, progress photography, final system documentation, and a completed mitigation checklist documented against the Safer from Wildfires categories the project touches. This documentation package is designed to support insurance discount applications and FAIR Plan exit strategies.
How long does installation take?
Most sprinkler installations take 3 to 10 days of construction plus 1 to 2 days of commissioning. Home hardening scope varies by property. All work is coordinated under one project manager with one timeline.
