Invest in Safety—
Defend Your Home from Embers and Flames
* Pattened
Our home sprinkler system provides solutions for key wildfire risks, including:
Ember Defense – Keeps roofs, gutters, and surroundings wet to prevent ember ignition.
​​
Radiant Heat Protection – Reduces the risk of materials catching fire from extreme heat exposure.
Flame Suppression – Creates a water barrier that helps slow or stop advancing flames.​
Structural Preservation – Helps minimize fire damage, reducing costly repairs or total loss.
Unmanned Protection – Automated activation allows homeowners to protect their property even if they evacuate.
Water Efficiency – Maximizes coverage while conserving water during wildfire emergencies.
Peace of Mind – Provides homeowners with added security knowing their home is better protected.
Protect What
Matters Most
People don’t just buy a sprinkler system—they invest in the safety of their home, family, and peace of mind. Our system provides real protection against wildfires, preventing ember ignition, reducing heat damage, and helping homeowners avoid costly losses. The true value isn’t just in the product, but in the security and confidence it provides when wildfire season strikes.
The Feeling of Security in Wildfire Season
Owning a Calstate Fire Defense system means peace of mind—your home stays protected, even if you have to evacuate. It’s smart, reliable defense when wildfire threats arise.
IBHS Wildfire
Our Commitment to Wildfire Resilience: Complying with the IBHS 2024 Sprinkler White Paper
At Calstate Fire Defense, we understand that effective wildfire defense relies on thoughtful system integration and reliable installation practices. For this reason, our installation approach is informed by the guidance outlined in the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) 2024 White Paper on External Sprinkler Systems for Wildfire Defense.
The IBHS White Paper provides practical guidance on how external sprinkler systems may perform under real-world wildfire and ember exposure conditions. It emphasizes the importance of combining active systems with proven passive wildfire mitigation measures. This perspective aligns with our installation philosophy: external sprinklers are intended to supplement—not replace—fundamental wildfire resilience strategies such as defensible space, fire-resistant materials, and proper site preparation.
IBHS highlights several performance challenges that can affect sprinkler effectiveness during wildfire events, including high winds, radiant heat, ember exposure, water drift, and evaporation. Platypus® systems are designed with these challenges in mind, and Calstate Fire Defense installs and integrates these systems to support effective water delivery to critical areas such as roofs, eaves, siding, vents, and other vulnerable surfaces.
The White Paper also notes the vulnerability of municipal water and electrical infrastructure during wildfire events. Consistent with this guidance, installations may incorporate independent water storage, alternative water sources, and backup power solutions where appropriate, helping maintain system operation when utility services are disrupted.
IBHS further cautions that zoning and sequencing of sprinkler coverage should be carefully considered to avoid leaving portions of a structure unprotected. Installation planning is therefore focused on continuous and coordinated coverage of priority surfaces, based on site-specific conditions and system capabilities.
Overall, the IBHS White Paper recognizes that external sprinkler systems can play a meaningful role in wildfire mitigation when they are thoughtfully designed, properly installed, and combined with passive protection measures. Calstate Fire Defense works in partnership with Platypus® to install wildfire sprinkler systems that reflect this guidance and support responsible wildfire preparedness.
