Why FireShield
Why homeowners choose FireShield
Everything a homeowner asks before trusting a system with their home — answered, point by point.
What you only get with FireShield
You decide how close a fire gets before it starts
Set the distance and the countdown yourself. Others use fixed numbers.
Sends water only to the side facing the fire
Pick the zones for the next run, so water is not wasted on the safe side.
Stopping one fire does not turn off your protection
Stop or mute applies to that fire only. Every other fire is still watched.
Turns itself back on if a stopped fire comes closer
It re-arms at half the distance, or one mile closer — whichever comes first.
Start it on a schedule
Before a red-flag day or before you leave. If a fire arrives sooner, it starts anyway.
Choose foam or plain water for each run
Save your foam for when it counts.
Run a quick test any time — no fire needed
Watch every head spray, from the button or the app.
Live wind map over your property
See where the wind will push the fire, next to the fire itself.
Weather and air quality at your house
Not just the region — your address.
No water pressure in the pipes while it waits
Nothing strains your fittings for years between runs.
No fan, no hard drive, no computer to crash
A solid-state controller running firmware that does one job.
Up to 36 zones on one controller
Enough for a main house, guest house and outbuildings.
Your own contractor can install it
Or our crews.
Built better, detail by detail
Pump over-pressure is released automatically
If the pressure sensor or its cable fails, a relief valve opens, sends the water back to the pool, and resets itself.
Air is purged from the lines automatically
Cleaner fill and drain, less water hammer, longer-lasting plumbing.
An expansion tank absorbs pressure surges
Less strain on pipes, joints and the pump.
Water-hammer arrestors protect every joint
They absorb the shock each time a valve closes.
Fewer bends, shorter lines, copper pipe
Less pressure lost, and copper stands up to heat and sun.
One Los Angeles team from design to service
Designed, built, installed and serviced by the same local team.
5-year warranty
On every FireShield system.
Will it work when the fire comes — even if I am not home?
Turns on by itself when a fire gets close
It tracks every fire around your home 24/7. No one needs to be home or awake.
Gives you time to cancel before it starts
A countdown runs first. Do nothing, and it starts.
Works right out of the box
Default: starts when a fire is 6 miles away, after a 9-minute countdown.
Keeps working when the power goes out
Battery backup, solar optional. A standby generator can run the pump.
Stays online when cell towers and internet fail
Wi-Fi, cellular and satellite. If two go down, satellite remains.
Can start with no connection at all
Buttons on the controller, a remote trigger or an on-site detector.
Uses your pool, tank or well when street water runs out
It switches over when street pressure is not enough.
Adds firefighting foam to the water
Class A foam helps water soak in and stick to roofs, walls and plants.
Will it protect my whole property?
Covers roof, eaves, walls and the ground around the house
Roof rotors, eave sprayers and perimeter heads, placed for your house.
Designed for your property, not a kit
We measure your water pressure and walk your property first — free.
Sprinkler heads hide in the ground when off
Pop-up rotors sit flush until they run.
What will I see and control?
See pressure, flow and power live on your phone
Plus foam, pool and generator status.
See the fire and your trigger zone on one map
Distance is measured to the real edge of the fire.
Physical buttons, not just an app
Test, test with foam, and emergency stop — right on the controller.
