Rooftop Sprinklers
Your roof is your home's most vulnerable surface in a wildfire. Rooftop sprinklers wet the entire roof and create a moisture barrier against falling embers.

The equipment that defends a home — and how to choose it
A prepared home and yard are the foundation. Equipment is the active layer you control: sprinklers that pre-wet your property, the pump and water that drive them, hose that reaches, and hand tools for the work. Here's what each piece does, and how to match a system to your property.
How Sprinkler Systems Protect Your Home
Wildfire sprinkler systems work by pre-wetting surfaces and holding moisture during a fire. Here's how they defend your property.
The system finder
Two questions point you to the right system.
The right setup comes down to what you're protecting and where your water comes from. Make a selection in each row.
1.What are you protecting?
2.What's your water source?
Cover Every Angle
Wet the roof above and the ground around it. Two layers of coverage, each with its own sprinklers.
Perimeter & Ground Sprinklers
Protect the vegetation, fences, and outbuildings around your home. Tripod and ground sprinklers create a wet buffer zone that slows fire spread and cuts the radiant heat reaching your structures.
Shop Perimeter SprinklersDo I need a pump?
Match the driver to the job
Whether you need a pump comes down to flow and reach, and your water source decides which way you go.
Tap-driven
Roof kits run on standard garden-hose pressure to protect a single structure. No separate pump required.
Pump-driven
Cabin, Acreage, and Estate packages use professional-grade pumps drawing from a pond, lake, dugout, or tank for higher flow and perimeter reach.
Stored water
With no source nearby, a collapsible onion tank gives you on-site supply to pair with a pump package.

Short guides to the gear that does the work
Every part of a system has its own logic. These working guides from Flash Wildfire Services walk through the detail, then the finder above lands you on a package.
Pressure & flow
How much water you need, and the pressure to move it through your lines without starving a zone.

Forestry hose is graded by construction and pressure rating. The right type protects your flow and your durability.

Sprinklers handle the wetting; hand tools handle clearing fuels, knocking down spot fires, and moving debris.

Straight answers on choosing, setting up, and deploying your wildfire protection equipment.
Do I need a pump, or can I use my garden hose?
It depends on your setup. The WASP Kit and Roof Sprinkler System Kit connect directly to an outdoor tap and run on standard garden-hose pressure. For larger properties or full perimeter coverage — especially when you're drawing from a pond, lake, or tank — you'll want a pump-based system like our Cabin, Acreage, or Estate packages.
How long does installation take?
The WASP Kit goes up in under 10 minutes with no tools or ladder — extend the pole and hook the brackets onto your gutters. The Roof Sprinkler System Kit is just as quick since it drapes over the roof peak. Full perimeter packages like the Cabin Sprinkler Package take longer, typically 2 to 4 hours, to set up multiple sprinklers, run hose, and connect the pump.
What if I don't have gutters?
Several options work without gutters. The WASP Kit includes fence and fascia mounts as an alternative to gutter brackets, and the Roof Sprinkler System Kit's butterfly sprinklers can drape over the roof peak, mount vertically on fascia, or lay flat on the roof surface.
What if I don't have a nearby pond or water source?
A collapsible onion tank gives you temporary water storage for properties without lake, pond, or hydrant access. Our 1,000-gallon tanks are collapsible and self-rising, so they're easy to set up, store, and refill.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes. We ship from Sherwood Park, Alberta to every province and territory. For orders outside Canada, please reach out to our team.
Are these the same systems fire departments use?
Yes. The WASP system is used by over 200 fire departments across North America, and our Cabin, Acreage, and Estate packages use professional-grade components — the same VERSAX pumps, forestry fittings, and sprinkler heads deployed by wildfire crews and municipal services.
Does this system require permanent installation?
No. Every system is fully portable and can be set up seasonally or as conditions warrant. Store it in the off-season and deploy it when fire risk rises.
Protecting a business?
The same principles scale to commercial property.
Acreage and estate-scale systems, larger pumps, and bulk water storage cover multiple structures. For the planning context specific to businesses, see protecting your business from wildfires in Alberta.
