Wildfires

The Facts about Wildfires

You need to take personal responsibility for protecting

yourself, your family and your home against Wildfires.

1

Homes are destroyed by

burning embers that travel

up to 3 miles ahead of the

fire front.

Power Lines burn and

cut off power to properties

creating darkness and

rendering electrical equip-

ment useless.

Fire Gels reduce radiant

heat and provide a level of

protection, however theyhave to be applied manually

prior to the fire front and

have a usable life of only

3-6 hours.

2Loss of Life is the result of

people waiting too long to

evacuate or in many cases,

staying behind to defend

their home.

Water Pressure drops

dramatically as the demand

for water is stretched

between residents and

firefighters.

Homes with cleared

defensible space are still

subject to ignition fromflying embers.

Smoke and Ash Dust

reduce visibility to night

time darkness during a

raging Wildfire.

Due to temperature

differences between the

inside and outside of your

home, burning embers are

attracted to your home like

a magnet.

Access to your street

is often closed by emergency

services enforcing manda-tory evacuation.

It is no longer a question of if, but when the next Wildfire will occur. The County Fire

Departments take every step to protect you, your family and your property during a Wildfire. With

wind driven embers creating a multitude of fires as they travel ahead of the fire front, there are

simply not enough Firefighters and Fire Engines available to defend every home.

In a wildfire, oxygen is rapidly consumed to maintain

the life of the fire. In this oxygen deprived environment,

vehicles stall leaving you trapped to face the wildfire with notype of defense.

With a FlameSniffer Defense System installed, you can leave

early, with the knowledge that your home and possessions are

protected from the ensuing Ember and Wildfire attack.


Do NOT Stay and Defend, LEAVE

Ember Attacks

Wildfires are unpredictable and unless you have had the

misfortune of being trapped in one, you have no idea what

you are fighting against. A loss of visibility is often the first

encounter, caused by smoke and ash dust that comes with

the ensuing ember attack.A loss of power is next as the fire burns power lines. Water

pressure drops as fellow residents and firefighters compete

to use water mains to protect homes. Panic, fear and

confusion sets in.

During a wildfire, flying embers can travel up

to 3 miles ahead of the fire front, causing spot

fires that destroy homes. Burning homes allow

wildfire to jump from one home to another. This

trail of fuel allows the Wildfire to continue along

its path, fueled by wind.

Before:Just one ember, landing in dry pineneedles gathered at the foot of a staircase,was all it took to incinerate this house dur-ing an October 2007 fire at Running Springs,California.

After:The same property. Beyond the debris ofthe house, living trees prove that the fires often

jump from house to house, sparing vegetation,moving to new sources of fuel (burning homes)that are started by initial ember fires.
