It won't work. ❌ Crown Fire at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius)? . . . Your little sprinkler will melt. ❌ Shrub fire with wind-driven embers? . . . They'll go up UNDER your eaves. The only sure solution is to build with ✔️utterly inflammable materials: concrete & metal.
Mary Only work with your own rain water reservoir or something other water source and battery power. You would need to cut down the brush around the house
It's still better than doing nothing. Also, I'd assume you'd want to initiate the sprinkler system before the wildfire and its associated winds reached your property; by the time they did reach it, your rooftop and nearby lawns would be soaked with the water and fire retardant chemical.
It’s better than nothing because during a wildfire fire fighters will see that he’s got a sprinkler system that is turned on so the firefighters will give that house less attention therefore freeing up more firefighters because their won’t be any firefighters or there might be just one firefighter saving that house meaning there’s more firefighters to save other houses in the neighbourhood so not only will this man most likely save his house but he will also be helping to save other houses as well
This type of system is very vulnerable, it sprays way too high, which will be affected by the high winds that are created by wildfires. There are newly designed patents with special nozzles that are NOT nearly affected by the winds that were designed specifically to work in high winds, such as this system would be. Check out
IF YOU HAVE HORSES (and you live in a dry climate), double-fence your property to create a "pasture" that is actually an alleyway circling your property. In a dry climate, the horses will turn this "pasture" to dust in short order; in winter, when grass wants to sprout there, the horses will churn the sprouting grass into the mud. (Creating such a "pasture" in chaparral would require heavy equipment.) The alley will also encourage the horses to move more, and thus they will get more exercise.
Bimetal thermo sensor is stable and dependable trigger sprinkler or air bubble pressurized switch contact that expand with heat to open water valve and enable magnetic cooling peltier cell array can freeze the entire neighborhood
This system has a high volume water storage, computer system, backup generator, all the bells and whistles. Could it be done for less? maybe. But what's eighteen to twenty thousand dollars when a hot tub can cost fifteen?
Just put in a fire alarm system hook up an infrared camera to the system and then get sprinkler systems hook that up to the fire alarm panel and I then the fire comes in you’ll be safe by the sprinkler system in the fire alarm and also put a fire alarm outside to basically do whatever you want with the fire alarms but worn your neighbors if then the fire comes that all the Will continue to go off even if the fire has stopped and is gone away it will go off until has been silence
Hell insurance companies should be willing to pay for these to be installed. Beats paying to completely rebuild a home or pay out injury and death benefits.
If an insurance company got to the point where they think they need to pay for these, they would just deem your house uninsurable and drop your coverage.
Im totally agree, if you have pool on lot no need for chemical retardant, because you will have enough water when fire will reach your house. Only need to install gas engine pump or accumulator for electric pumps, grid will be cutoff for sure 100%.
Furthermore if house just planning to build, need to install metal roof not asphalt. Metal roof looks also good, matt risinger builder blogger discover that variant
that system is not worth that 18 000, not true, you could probably do it on the cheap for 2000, get second hand tank, some pipes, sprinklers and a pump
I bet that system will be cheap in a state with no forest fires. You know how America operates: the things that your livelihood depends on, are made unaffordable. I mean things like healthcare, housing, education etc. So if saving your house depends on these sprinklers, be sure to see then at ridiculous high prices. It is capitalism mate, that's the name of the game.
Wanna know why this didn’t happen? A California fire would laugh and keep coming. You’re better off turning your sprinklers on before you evacuate. $25000. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
25k....crazy...I just installed 22 sprinklers on 1 acre with a 5hp 2 inch gas line pump and plumbing, plus labour for 2k
Everyone in California should have this.

@@P4hs 30 feet is good enough to slow down fires. when firefighters are even say people should use it might want to take their word
Great idea. BUT, forest fires tend to make their own weather including tremendous winds. How will this sprinkler system work in high winds?

Matt Sidor super smart
I'd imagine ts more do defeat the flying embers that are cast ahead of the main fire front.

How does a glorified garden splinkler system cost $25k?

@@paulmaxwell8851just make a pond and install a pump. Build a moat. With 25k you can probably get some massive hose system.
I have a patient for this that's 7 years old wait for it !!!!!!!
If I ever get my own house I’m having exterior fire sprinklers installed along with interior ones I’m not taking and chances
You need to start learning weather and especially wind patterns and humidity, PIG, RH, FDFM get you a home whether station,
We should force to use automatic sprinkler system in home and forest because it is public safety and it is not personal concern
I've wondered why this wasn't done since I was a kid

I wish all the homes destroyed in the boulder fire had this system
Biz should be booming this season 🤷♂️
18-25k. What a rip off. Can be done easily for less than 5k

Please do it, then post a video on your project.
25k😂 I can put 9 water tanks and a pump system…
