Wildfires move fast, and by the time evacuation orders come, it's often too late to do more than grab what you can and go. A home wildfire defense system gives you the ability to actively protect your property — wetting down your home, roof, and surrounding vegetation before a fire arrives, and knocking down embers and hot spots if flames get close.
Our complete systems include a fire pump, intake and fire hoses, and adjustable nozzles. Our pumps are high-pressure and low-volume, capable of throwing a focused stream of water over 150 feet — enough distance to reach hot spots and soak your property. A twist of the nozzle switches to a wide fog spray, suited for saturating your roof, siding, decking, and the vegetation around your home to reduce fuel and slow a fire's advance.
Quick-connect fittings let you get the system running in seconds, and 50 feet of hose gives you the reach to cover your property from a single setup point. Operation is straightforward: connect the hoses and nozzle, place the intake hose in any available water source — a pool, pond, water tank, or similar — start the pump's generator, and begin wetting down your defensible space.
For homeowners in fire-prone areas, this kind of system is a practical, proactive layer of protection — giving you the ability to act before a wildfire reaches your home, not just react once it does.

What Our Neighbors Say
Hear from homeowners who have taken control of their property's defense.
"My wife and I bought the Honda 13 HP high-pressure pump set — it came with 200 feet of fire hose and a fire gel kit. We haven't had to use the system yet, but just having it in place gives us both peace of mind. Allan was very helpful throughout the process and made sure we understood how everything works. My wife feels much better knowing we can use our pool water if we ever need to protect our home. We were referred by friends from church, and I've already told a couple of our neighbors about it. I'll keep recommending West Coast Fire Defense to anyone living in a high-risk area. This is something every homeowner should seriously consider."

"The team at WCFD has been absolutely wonderful. My husband and I spent a couple of months researching our options because we live in a very high fire risk area — and I knew we couldn't take any chances. What really impressed me was the level of after-sales support and the detailed fire risk assessment they provided. Honestly, it opened my eyes. It was a bit overwhelming at first to see what we're really up against, but now we're taking action and going step by step to make our home as safe as possible. The pump itself works great — I've already used it a couple of times. It's straightforward to set up and run, even for someone like me who's not especially 'handy.' It gives me real peace of mind knowing we're doing everything we can to be prepared."

"I purchased a floating high pressure fire pump for my ranch from West Coast Fire Defense. They were extremely helpful answered my questions and concerns. Its nice to have on hand, and use it as a safety net when im doing controlled burns. The delivery took 3 weeks however we are happy with our purchase and have since referred a couple of our neighbors to them as well."
