Wildfires
The Facts about Wildfires
You need to take personal responsibility for protecting
yourself, your family and your home against Wildfires.

Homes are destroyed by
burning embers that travel
up to 3 miles ahead of the
fire front.
Power Lines burn and
cut off power to properties
creating darkness and
rendering electrical equip-
ment useless.
Fire Gels reduce radiant
heat and provide a level of
protection, however theyhave to be applied manually
prior to the fire front and
have a usable life of only
3-6 hours.
2Loss of Life is the result of
people waiting too long to
evacuate or in many cases,
staying behind to defend
their home.

Water Pressure drops
dramatically as the demand
for water is stretched
between residents and
firefighters.
Homes with cleared
defensible space are still
subject to ignition fromflying embers.

Smoke and Ash Dust
reduce visibility to night
time darkness during a
raging Wildfire.
Due to temperature
differences between the
inside and outside of your
home, burning embers are
attracted to your home like
a magnet.
Access to your street
is often closed by emergency
services enforcing manda-tory evacuation.
It is no longer a question of if, but when the next Wildfire will occur. The County Fire
Departments take every step to protect you, your family and your property during a Wildfire. With
wind driven embers creating a multitude of fires as they travel ahead of the fire front, there are
simply not enough Firefighters and Fire Engines available to defend every home.

In a wildfire, oxygen is rapidly consumed to maintain
the life of the fire. In this oxygen deprived environment,
vehicles stall leaving you trapped to face the wildfire with notype of defense.
With a FlameSniffer Defense System installed, you can leave
early, with the knowledge that your home and possessions are
protected from the ensuing Ember and Wildfire attack.

Do NOT Stay and Defend, LEAVE
Ember Attacks
Wildfires are unpredictable and unless you have had the
misfortune of being trapped in one, you have no idea what
you are fighting against. A loss of visibility is often the first
encounter, caused by smoke and ash dust that comes with
the ensuing ember attack.A loss of power is next as the fire burns power lines. Water
pressure drops as fellow residents and firefighters compete
to use water mains to protect homes. Panic, fear and
confusion sets in.
During a wildfire, flying embers can travel up
to 3 miles ahead of the fire front, causing spot
fires that destroy homes. Burning homes allow
wildfire to jump from one home to another. This
trail of fuel allows the Wildfire to continue along
its path, fueled by wind.
Before:Just one ember, landing in dry pineneedles gathered at the foot of a staircase,was all it took to incinerate this house dur-ing an October 2007 fire at Running Springs,California.
After:The same property. Beyond the debris ofthe house, living trees prove that the fires often
jump from house to house, sparing vegetation,moving to new sources of fuel (burning homes)that are started by initial ember fires.

Each sensor post can alert anyone on the network
The FlameSnifferTM
Early Warning Network
Installation of multiple wireless sensor posts throughout a region or neighborhood providesan early warning network that all of the community can access.
At regular 5 minutes intervals, information regarding the condition, operation and any
possible threat is sent wirelessly to the FlameSnifferTM
Command Center to ensure fulloperation and detect any threat of Fire, not only from Wildfire but from Home, Property,Vehicle, Power Line, Lightning, Equipment and Arson fires.
This network allows FlameSnifferTM to pinpoint the exact location of the fire and sendEmergency Services to intervene and eliminate the threat of fire before it has theopportunity to spread.
Every installation is a step towards helping you, your family, your home, your neighbor andultimately your community from the threat of fire.
