Why It Exists

When wildfire threatens, every minute matters. FireReady is a portable, pool-powered fire defense system that gives homeowners the ability to respond immediately to small fires, ember ignitions, and radiant heat exposure while preparing their property for evacuation.

Most homes near wildland areas sit next to one of the largest untapped water supplies on the property: the pool. A residential pool can hold 15,000 to 30,000 gallons, far more than any garden hose could ever move, and far more useful than water no one can reach in an emergency. FireReady turns that standing water into a professional-grade fire response tool in minutes, with no electricity, no municipal water pressure, and nothing permanently installed.

You hope you never need it. If you do, you’ll be glad it’s there.

What It Helps You Do

  • Wet roofs, siding, decks, and fencing before embers arrive
  • Knock down small, early-stage fires
  • Extinguish ember ignitions near the home
  • Soak defensible space before evacuation
  • Operate completely off-grid during power outages

Why It Works

  • High-flow fire pump moves up to 150 gallons a minute
  • Pool-powered supply means no hydrants or pressure loss
  • Gas engine keeps working when the grid is down
  • 100-foot fire hose and adjustable nozzle for reach and control
  • Heavy-duty rolling cart built for one-person deployment
  • Quick-connect fittings for fast setup under stress
How It Works

Nine steps, from set up to suppression.

FireReady is designed to be operated by one person, under stress, without a manual in hand. Every fitting is quick-connect. Every step is intentionally simple.

Real-World Scenarios

Built for the moments you can’t plan around.

Ember Attack

Wind-driven embers land on the roof, in the gutters, and against the siding long before any flame front arrives. FireReady lets you wet those surfaces down proactively, before an ember ignition becomes a structure fire.

A Spot Fire Starts Close To Home

A fire ignites in dry brush near the fence line or hillside. Rather than waiting on a response, FireReady lets you knock it down immediately, while it’s still small enough to control.

The Power Goes Out

During a Public Safety Power Shutoff, electric well pumps and irrigation systems go dark right when you need water most. FireReady’s gas engine doesn’t care whether the grid is up.

Final Prep Before You Leave

An evacuation order comes through. In the minutes before you go, FireReady lets you soak the deck, the vegetation, and the defensible space around the house, then it rolls right into the truck with you.

Quick-Connect Outlet

An aluminum quick-connect fitting, secured with its own dust cap. Attach the fire hose in seconds, no threading, no wasted time when it matters most.

The FireReady pump’s numbered before-use decal for fuel, oil, and priming

Built-In Startup Guide

A numbered decal right on the pump: fill gas, add engine oil, prime with water. Anyone can start it correctly on the first try, even under stress.

Priming Bottle & Wrench

A clip-on priming bottle with volume markings, plus the wrench needed for hose fittings, both stored right on the cart. Nothing to hunt for when you need it.

Coiled reinforced intake hose with a metal debris strainer on the FireReady HPS1

Reinforced Intake & Strainer

A heavy-duty suction hose with a metal strainer basket on the end. Pulls water fast from the pool while keeping leaves and debris out of the pump.

Fuel canister mounted directly to the FireReady HPS1 cart frame

Onboard Fuel Storage

A dedicated fuel canister mounted directly to the frame. Extra run time travels with the unit, so you’re not searching the garage for a gas can mid-emergency.

Weather-Resistant Storage Pouch

A protective pouch that shields the priming bottle and fittings. Keeps critical components clean and ready between uses, rain or shine.
