- Wildfire-prone property owners and project partners
- Worth noticing
- The proposed line is 30 metres from homes in grassland, with distance adjusted for terrain and fuel; the site says embers require a second layer of defence.
Field notes
The proposal lays out a sequence from distant satellite alert to directional detection and selective sprinkler activation. It specifies a 22-metre wet strip and says the system should continue for at least four hours on stored water and solar power. The page also treats embers as a separate threat, proposing to wet the garden, eaves and roof. It presents these as design features and seeks a partner to build the first installation.
