Yes. Metal roofs resist sparks but don't stop homes from igniting via airborne embers, radiant heat, or vulnerable openings like vents and eaves. The Prodigy system protects the entire structure by creating a high-humidity zone that cools surfaces and prevents embers from starting fires, addressing all pathways of wildfire ignition that metal roofs alone cannot stop.

Upon receiving your evacuation notice we recommend monitoring your local wildfire app so you can track the live movements of the fire. That's the point when conditions are most dangerous and water use needs to be focused where it matters most, protecting your property while everyone evacuates safely.

We also offer fully autonomous systems equipped with thermal imaging and AI monitoring. These can detect heat signatures up to 15 kilometres away and automatically activate protection before flames or embers even reach your property.

Because wildfire protection works best in layers. Even with a metal roof or cleared vegetation, embers and radiant heat can still ignite your property.

The Prodigy system provides the final active defence layer when passive measures aren't enough.

On installation we carry out a runtime test, and off the back of that we give you your programmable cycle times. This approach conserves water while still keeping humidity levels high enough to block embers and radiant heat. We'll also show you the ideal humidity range to maintain so your system stays both effective and efficient.

Prodigy Wildfire Solutions systems are engineered for maximum water efficiency. Using programmable cycle times and precision nozzle placement, we ensure water is delivered exactly where it's needed, maintaining effective humidity levels while conserving your water supply. The Prodigy system uses significantly less water than a single fire truck, yet provides comprehensive property coverage.

Every Prodigy system comes with our app-based remote monitoring and activation technology. From anywhere in the world, you can check system status, receive real-time EmberWatch alerts, run activation cycles, and control your exterior sprinkler system with one tap. Whether you're at home or travelling abroad, you'll always have full visibility and control over your property's wildfire defence.

Yes. A Prodigy system is widely regarded as a premium property feature that enhances resale value, particularly in fire-prone areas across the USA, Canada, and Australia. The system easily transfers to the new homeowner, and many buyers specifically seek out properties with permanent wildfire protection already installed. It can also help with insurance eligibility and premiums in high-risk wildfire zones.

Yes. The Prodigy system's app-controlled, gas-powered fire pump lets you draw unlimited water from lakes for wildfire protection. Important to note: Our team will guide you through any required permissions or permits, especially for park or protected areas, to ensure everything is done properly and responsibly.

Prodigy Wildfire Solutions offers a range of servicing plans designed to keep your system in peak condition. Our plans cover winterisation, spring activation, and ongoing system health checks — so your Prodigy system is always ready when you need it. Most of our clients opt for an annual servicing subscription, which keeps us responsible for maintaining your system year-round. Alternatively, you can choose to manage servicing yourself, which involves winterising the system efficiently and ensuring it's operational in the spring.
