Fire Gel costs about $500 for an average size home. Store it indefinitely in your garage. Once you know the house is at risk you take out the jugs, hook them up to a garden hose and spray the gel on the house, the patio furniture, the plants, ANYTHING you don’t want to burn.

Vulcan Vents are designed to be fire and ember safe. An ember catching screen blocks dangerous embers during ember attacks before the fire arrives. When a wildfire nears and the ventreaches the critical temperature, the intumescent coating on the matrix structure expands, creating an insulating barrier from fire and embers.
