Prodigy exterior wildfire sprinkler systems use roof-mounted nozzles to create a 360-degree humidity bubble around structures. The system includes ember detection sensors, remote smartphone activation, and programmable cycle times. Water saturates the building envelope — roof, walls, eaves, and surrounding vegetation — preventing ember ignition and reducing radiant heat absorption.

Alberta wildfire defence. Ontario fire protection systems. Australian bushfire protection — BAL-rated sprinkler systems for NSW, Victoria, and Queensland.
Ember attack is the number one cause of home destruction during wildfires. Embers can travel over 20 kilometres ahead of the fire front at temperatures of 1,200°C. Up to 90% of homes lost in wildfires are destroyed by ember attack, not direct flames. Prodigy exterior sprinkler systems neutralise embers on contact.
A permanent wildfire sprinkler system can help maintain property insurance coverage in fire-prone areas where insurers are withdrawing. Many insurers offer premium discounts for properties with permanent wildfire protection. Systems increase property value and transfer to new owners at point of sale.
