Drench is a modular wildfire protection system that can prevent a fire at any home in any location. This has been achieved by utilizing a standalone water pump, large water tank, firefighting home, battery backup system, and an IoT processor connected to the internet via an always-on cellular connection. This ensures homeowners are protected even when the municipal electrical and water utilities inevitably fail.
Sprinklers are installed at key locations under the eaves and on the roof of every home. During a fire event these sprinklers will wet down the entire house, focusing on the features most vulnerable to an ember storm, and a 30 ft. buffer zone on all sides of the house. The sprinklers will be turned on by Drench's automated system that continuously monitors for fires within a 7-mile radius of the protected home. Homeowners can also turn on the Drench system at any time via a cell phone app or button on the system.
