HALO HOME WILDFIRE DEFENSE

Intelligent wildfire defense for the home ignition zone

Most homes lost during wildfires are not destroyed by a wall of flames, they are ignited by wind-driven embers that accumulate in the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ), the first 0–5 feet surrounding a structure. Once combustible materials ignite in this area, the fire can quickly spread to the home.

Current residential wildfire protection systems are often expensive, consume large amounts of water, require complex installation, and are impractical for widespread adoption.

HOW IT WORKS

Halo is an intelligent wildfire defense platform developed to work automatically, and to significantly reduce the risk of ember ignition in the Home Ignition Zone.

By combining smart detection, automated controls, and targeted water delivery, the system provides effective protection while using significantly less water than traditional structure sprinkler systems.

The result is a solution that is affordable, scalable, and practical enough to help protect entire neighborhoods, not just individual homes.

  • Protects the most vulnerable area of your home, the 0–5 foot Home Ignition Zone, using only water (no harsh fire retardant or corrosive chemicals)

  • Activates automatically when wildfire conditions threaten, and self tests throughout the year to ensure the system is always ready

  • Blends into your home's exterior with a clean, low-profile installation

  • Engineered to be highly effective while using a fraction of the water of traditional systems, supporting the needs of homeowners and fire agencies alike.

  • Estimated installation starting around $5,000

Detect
Wildfire threats are identified using connected sensors, trusted external data sources, and remote activation capabilities.

Decide
Proprietary control software determines the optimal protection strategy based on current conditions.

Protect
A low-profile water delivery system applies moisture where it is needed most to reduce ember ignition risk.

Verify
The platform continuously monitors system and target zone parameters to maximize performance and ensure proper operation.

We believe wildfire defense should become a standard part of residential infrastructure in fire-prone communities.
