Fire retardant is a non-toxic, fire-preventing substance that Wildfire Defense Systems may use to help protect the home and property. The fire retardant may be applied to combustible materials and vegetation that surround a home or structure.
Used as a last resort when fighting a fire, the fire retardant can help to slow or halt an advancing wildfire.
Once the wildfire threat has passed, the fire retardant is removed, typically using a light washing process with water. There may be residual fire retardant left on vegetation after cleaning that will safely biodegrade over time. The fire retardant is safe for vegetation and the environment: it is about 90% water and can be used on all types of trees and vegetation.
