Fortress
Maximum Protection with Class A Foam
Advanced Wildfire Sprinkler System
Everything in Guardian, plus:
- Class A foam injection system for roof and eave sprinklers during highest threat activation
- Foam clings to surfaces, holds moisture longer than water alone, and creates a fire-resistant barrier on the roof, eaves, and walls
- Class A foam is the same formulation used by wildland fire agencies. 100% biodegradable, non-toxic to plants, pets, and wildlife, rinses off through sprinklers
How FireRoofs Protects Your Home from Wildfire
The FireRoofs system defends your home at three physical layers: roof line, eave line, and perimeter. Each layer activates automatically when wildfire is detected, delivering water to the most vulnerable surfaces before firefighters can reach you.
Roof Sprinklers
Primary fuel-surface saturation
Commercial-grade copper sprinkler heads mounted along the roof ridge deliver a continuous water curtain across the entire roof surface - the single largest fuel area on any home. When satellite detection triggers activation, the roof is fully saturated within minutes, preventing ember ignition on shingles and decking.
Modular Upgrades for Any Tier
Every property has different water supply, pressure, and landscape conditions. These add-ons extend any system's capability without swapping the core.
Perimeter Sprinklers
Ground-level sprinklers protecting vegetation and landscape surrounding your property, including hillsides leading to the home. Mounted along your fence line to saturate the surrounding defensible space.
Class A Foam Injection
Available as an add-on for Keystone or Guardian. Adds foam injection to your highest threat response. Recommended when water supply is limited or maximum surface protection is the goal.
Backup Pool Connection
Connects your swimming pool as an independent water source. Automatic switchover when municipal pressure drops. Runtime depends on pool size and system configuration.
Water Storage Tank Connection
For properties without a pool. Dedicated water storage tanks provide the same independent supply capability. We size the tank to your system’s flow requirements and available space.
Booster Pump
Increases water pressure for properties where municipal or well supply falls below optimal levels. Ensures consistent sprinkler coverage across all zones, especially on steep lots or large properties with long pipe runs.
Beyond Sprinklers. Every Mitigation Category Addressed.
California's Safer from Wildfires regulation identifies 12 mitigation categories that insurers must recognize when pricing your policy. FireRoofs addresses all of these categories. You get one company managing the entire scope, one project timeline, and one documentation package at the end.
Every phase is documented. Even partial mitigation earns immediate discounts when properly documented.
Stainless Steel Micro Mesh EmberSafe Gutter Guard Installation
Surgical-grade stainless steel micro mesh gutter guards that prevent ember-ignitable debris accumulation along the roof edge. Fully noncombustible and corrosion-resistant, recommended by CAL FIRE and local Fire Safe Councils as a frontline home hardening measure for VHFHSZ properties.
Vulcan Vents Ember and Flame Resistant Vent Retrofit
ASTM E2886-certified, California State Fire Marshal-listed vent assemblies with stainless steel ember mesh and intumescent honeycomb sealing technology. Replaces attic, foundation, and ridge vents that allow ember intrusion through standard 1/4-inch mesh openings.
Non Combustible Landscape-to-Structure Fuelbreak
Removes combustible mulch, plantings, and organic ground cover within the Zone 0 perimeter (0 to 5 feet) and replaces with gravel, decomposed granite, or pavers per AB 3074 ember-resistant zone requirements enforced by the Board of Forestry.
Non Combustible Deck-to-Structure Ember Break
Installs noncombustible metal flashing and hardscape gap at deck-to-wall connections to prevent the dual-surface ignition pathway identified by the Safer from Wildfires framework. Stops embers from bridging from deck surface directly into wall siding.
Open Eave Enclosure
Retrofits open eave construction with noncombustible soffit material and ASTM E2886-rated vents, converting exposed rafter tails to the enclosed configuration required by California Building Code Chapter 7A for WUI properties.
Non Combustible Gate and Fence Installation
Replaces combustible wood gates and fencing within 5 feet of the structure with steel or aluminum alternatives meeting ASTM E136 noncombustibility standards. Eliminates the fence-line fire transfer pathway into Zone 0.
Under Deck Enclosure
Seals open under-deck spaces with noncombustible metal screening or fiber-cement panels to prevent debris accumulation and ember-driven ignition while maintaining the ventilation needed to prevent moisture damage.
Non Combustible Deck Retrofit
Replaces combustible decking with materials certified under SFM Standard 12-7A-4, providing fire-rated surfaces resistant to both ember landing and under-deck flame exposure. Full deck-to-structure connection hardening included.
Non Combustible Fencing
Replaces combustible wood fence sections within 5 feet of the home with steel or aluminum panels meeting ASTM E136 standards. Eliminates fence-line fire transfer pathways that allow wildfire to spread from property perimeter to structure.
Learn MoreHere is what most homeowners miss: even partial mitigation documented properly earns immediate discounts. You do not need to wait until everything is done to start submitting documentation to your carrier. FireRoofs documents every phase of work as it is completed. Each completed category is mapped to California's Regulation 2644.9 and formatted for immediate carrier submission. When the full project is complete, you receive the comprehensive carrier-ready evidence packet that covers everything.

What is the difference between active defense and home hardening?
Active defense is the automated sprinkler system that detects fire and saturates your property with water (and optional foam) before flames arrive. Home hardening is the physical upgrading of your home's materials and surroundings to resist ignition from embers and radiant heat. FireRoofs provides both under one scope of work.
Does FireRoofs do all the work directly?
Yes. FireRoofs handles the full scope: sprinkler systems, EmberSafe gutter guards, Vulcan Vents retrofit, landscape-to-structure fuelbreaks, deck-to-structure ember breaks, open eave enclosures, noncombustible gate and fence installation, under deck enclosures, deck retrofits, and noncombustible fencing. Every project is managed by our team from start to finish under one licensed General Contractor.
What is included in the evidence packet?
A complete documentation package including system specs, commissioning test results, regulatory alignment matrix, IBHS comparison, licensed contractor verification, and photo/video records. Designed for direct submission to insurers, brokers, or underwriters.
