Komodo is a safe, non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-corrosive, water-soluble, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly compound that serves as a highly effective fire protection agent. It is an eco-friendly “benign by design” compound comprised of food-safe ingredients and earth minerals that work together in a proprietary formula to produce a powerful fire protectant, retardant, and suppressant completely free of PBDEs (Polybrominated Diphenyl Esters) and other restricted or harmful chemicals.

Unlike regular garden sprinklers, a wildfire roof sprinkler system is specifically designed to hydrate the most critical zones and provide precise and comprehensive coverage (not just of your roof, but the eaves and perimeter). New systems use advanced technology such as wildfire tracking systems, remote control applications, and smart water management.

Most wildfire defense systems require electricity and a water source to operate. Some systems have a built-in battery backup. Water sources can include municipal water, however a pool, tank, or well water is more reliable in the event of fire. These will require a dedicated pump with a backup power source, such as a generator or home battery. Our team can evaluate your property and requirements based on the system design.
