Every year, wildfires destroy 1,000's of homes. And the problem is only getting worse. With longer, more intense fire seasons, homeowners need to take proactive steps to defend their properties before it’s too late.
Wildfires have increased by over 50% in the last decade.
Homes without proper protection are 5x more likely to be lost to fire.
As we've seen with the recent devastation in California, fire is a potent force of destruction that can take property and impact lives with little warning.
Fires can be ignited through a wide variety of causes, from indoor accidental fires to external negligent, criminal and unpredictable natural events.
Water is one of the most important, yet under-managed resources required to fight fire. There is a lack of strategic event water storage and deployment.
Wind is an environmental X-Factor that can elevate the severity of fire damage and uncontrolled growth. Smaller scale protection systems are far less effective in fire-wind conditions. Larger volume systems are mandatory.
Insurance companies have cut their losses and are leaving homeowners with few options. California's state-mandated insurance program is "very expensive and it's not great coverage", according to the state's Governor.
FIREBOZZ® is the leading brand of wildland fire-fighting equipment designed for rapid deployment that is capable of defending large areas quickly and easily.
Rapid deployment is mandatory - Fire grows exponentially, therefore, response time makes all the difference. FIREBOZZ® water cannons use standard fire hose connections that allow deployment in just minutes.
Mobility is essential - Fire is unpredictable, thus, stationary systems are simply inefficient and can leave you exposed. A nimble system allows you to re-orient and swarm your defense based on wind and direction of attack.
Scale makes a difference - When it comes to protecting valuable assets, there is little room for much smaller solutions that can fail in the face of tragic forces. FIREBOZZ® is proven effective at large industrial-scale protection. The same system is now available for home and business protection.
Preplanned "event water" matters most - There are simply not enough outside water sources to draw on after an event has begun. Municipal systems fail. Being proactive with an on-site event water solution ensures your protection.
Self-reliance is a critical aspect of protection - Simply put, nobody but you has a greater interest in protecting your most treasured assets. Insurance won't fully replace your loss. Premiums are ever increasing. BOTTOM LINE: You can own your complete protection for less than the cost of partial coverage.
The complete system consists of four essential parts
A Source for Event Water
Event water is the most critical component in the system. Sources can be private, public and strategic, including natural bodies of water, tanked storage water, swimming pools and water tenders.
High-Pressure Water Pump(s)
Moving water from the source at high pressure ensures the volume delivered is effectively distributed over long distance and with an effective force against high winds and other field factors.
High-Pressure Fire Hose(s)
Proper fire hoses are built to withstand the field conditions of wildfires. Standard connections can be made in less than one minute for rapid deployment and immediate operability.
FIREBOZZ® Water Cannon(s)
The unparalleled nature of the FIREBOZZ® water cannons ensures the exact combination of pressure, volume and density of water, (both direct and vaporized), are delivered to the target.

Fire can only spread through heat. Remove the heat - remove the fire. Cool the fuels and stifle ignition. FIREBOZZ® units do this in two ways:
Projection of water over a massive area
A massive protective area can be established easily and much more rapidly than with traditional sprinkler systems. The FIREBOZZ® rapid deploy system allows a high degree of confidence for your home, livelihood, and industry to be protected.
