PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES
Wildfires are increasingly destructive due to climate change, threatening homes, communities, and natural ecosystems. HydroShield provides an innovative, proactive defense system designed specifically for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) areas. Our solution is designed to minimize fire intensity, radiation, embers, and smoke, actively defending vulnerable locations.
OUR MISSION
HydroShield’s mission is to protect communities from the devastating effects of wildfires. By combining advanced technology with sustainable forest management, we create comprehensive defense systems that mitigate fire risks and safeguard homes, infrastructure, and natural landscapes.
RECOGNITION
HydroShield’s WUIProtect® system is backed by patented European technology and has been recognized for its effectiveness in wildfire prevention across Europe.
OUR EXPERTISE
With over 20 years of experience and European partners who are leaders in wildfire defense technology, HydroShield’s systems have been tested and proven in high-risk areas in Europe. We are committed to helping communities prepare for and prevent wildfire emergencies.
OUR SOLUTIONS
HydroShield’s WUIProtect® is a permanent defense solution tailored for WUI areas. This system proactively mitigates wildfire risks through moisture control and fuel management, reducing fire intensity as it approaches the protected area.
Planning & Prevention
Effective defense starts with thorough planning. HydroShield provides comprehensive prevention strategies, operational readiness, and post-fire recovery plans.
Fuel Management
We create defensible spaces around communities by thinning vegetation, using fire-resistant plants, and implementing silvicultural treatments to minimize fuel for wildfires.
Defensive Infrastructure
The WUIProtect® system includes a hydraulic infrastructure with water cannons and water reservoirs, controlled by a state-of-the-art software platform that monitors environmental conditions and activates the system when necessary.
Training & Public Involvement
HydroShield provides hands-on training for residents, local authorities, and emergency teams to ensure everyone is prepared to act in the event of a wildfire.
HOW IT
WORKS.
Our system utilizes advanced rain towers and sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and moisture levels. The system automatically activates when wildfire risks increase, keeping vegetation moist and creating firebreaks to stop the spread of fire.
PREVENTIVE
PHASE.
Regular irrigation maintains a moisture-rich environment to prevent fires from advancing. The system automatically activates when fire weather thresholds are reached.
OPERATIONAL
PHASE.
During a wildfire, the system simulates fire spread, directing water reserves to high-risk areas and helping firefighters contain the fire.
INCREASING WILDFIRE
INTENSITY
Over 70% of wildfires become uncontrollable before they can be contained, often causing catastrophic damage. With our systems, communities can be proactive in preventing fires before they reach this stage.
PREVENTIVE WATERING & GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
By maintaining moist, fire-resistant green infrastructure, WUIProtect® helps forests and vegetation act as natural carbon capture systems, protecting both ecosystems and human settlements.
