Firestad™ smart-Link "Wild" Fire Safety Protection System "LFSPS" is the smartest fire protection system on the market. Water dispersion spray systems are proven to reduce fires by as much as 96%.
With so many wildfires breaking out everywhere, it became obvious that something had to be done to help eradicate a potential problem before it happens. Therefore, Link Corporation executives put their heads together and came up with a great solution. The Firestad™ smart-link "Wildfire" Safety Protection System “LFSPS”, an external ultra-high-quality, powder-coated stainless steel fire fighting water dispersion protection system for homes, small buildings, and landscapes that will last a life time, protect your home from wildfires, and make your home safe.
Firestad™ is a new and innovative fire protection system designed to help protect homes from fire radiation and ember attacks during wildfires, ensuring your home is safe. Firestad’s “LFSPS” is an external water dispersion system (fire protection equipment) with specially designed water spigots that integrates an innovative approach to fight wildfires for property owners to protect their real estate from catching fire and keeping their home safe. Components are all super high quality, along with powder coated Stainless Steel piping and brass fittings, and is aesthetically pleasing.
Firestad is well hidden for retrofits, out of street level views, and difficult to see unless you're actually looking for it. It is color matched with its ultra-high-quality powder-coated stainless steel pipes and high-end brass nozzles (patents pending) that were designed specifically to handle high winds without losing their efficacy. It is operable manually or can be set up automatically through a smart water control system. Alexa and Apple home-kit are compatible with hyper-local weather intelligence plus rain, freeze, and wind-skip features. Works with Google assistant, Nest, IFTTT, Wink, Control4, Nexia, and others.
A home wildfire protection system can be the best defense.
An external Wildfire Protection System is the most obvious firefighting method out there today, continually proving to be efficient in saturating embers before they grow into devastating flames. An extensive study by the Firewise Program in Minnesota’s Department of Natural Resources cited the effectiveness of the water dispersion systems at protecting not only homes but surrounding combustible landscapes as well.
“The effectiveness of exterior fire sprinklers were proven during the 2007 wind-driven Ham Lake Fire in Cook County, Minnesota. In 2001, exterior sprinklers were installed on 188 properties, including homes and several resorts. All 188 properties survived. More than 100 neighboring properties were destroyed. The sprinklers were so successful that a $3 million FEMA pre-disaster mitigation grant was awarded in 2008 to install additional wildfire sprinkler systems throughout Cook County. In 2013, another grant was awarded to install the systems in two additional counties, including properties with low-water resources.
A FEMA hazard mitigation grant covered the cost of the Cook County program. The program was finished on time and budget, costing $764,255. A Minnesota Senator credited the program with saving over $42 million in property damage(s). The grant paid 75% of the cost of the sprinklers. Individual property owners covered the balance.”
Landscapes and homes that are soaked release moisture into the air, lowering ambient temperatures while increasing humidity. All of which significantly decreases the chance of ignition.
Landscape renovation is available when desired, i.e. weeding, replacing plants and ground covers with more fire resistant type species. Moreover, additional sprinkler zones can be integrated surrounding the property to keep it soaked as well during wildfires, creating its own damp microclimate.
For added fire prevention, Firestad can integrate additional upgrade possibilities; a smart high-pressure PSI water pump can be added to power the Firestad system to increase and provide adequate water pressure when water pressure is down or in low water pressure areas. When activated by your smart device, a high-pressure water stream will run through the LFSPS water dispersion system discharging a heavy water stream/spray, covering all exterior surface areas when water pressure is not adequate, soaking your home thoroughly within 10 minutes.
In addition, a smart generator can be added as an additional upgrade when desired as a backup system to help protect your home from power outages.
Other additional safety feature(s) are a backup water tank, bladder, or swimming pool that can be used with adaptor kits with a water pump to ensure you always have water flowing. NFPA (national fire protection association) "The water supply should be adequate to deliver water, when needed, for the time embers could threaten a home. This period could be up to 8 hours."
The Firestad retrofit installation is color matched to your home and hidden from street level views, keeping your curbside appeal and aesthetically pleasing. New homes can have the system built in even making it more difficult to see.

Airborne embers may travel miles from a wildfire front and land on a home, in the yard or your business unexpectedly.
This may cause loss of life and property within minutes. According to Verisk’s 2019 Wildfire Risk Analysis 4.5 million U.S. homes were identified at high or extreme risk of wildfire, with more than 2 million in California alone.
The impact of wildfires on both the quality of life and the economy of communities are significant and require innovative strategies to reduce the tremendous losses that have occurred in the past several years.
Embers are the most significant cause of home ignition (90%). Recent research indicates that two out of every three homes destroyed during the Witch Creek fire in San Diego County were ignited either directly or indirectly by wind-dispersed, wildfire-generated, burning or glowing embers and not from the actual flames of the fire.
These embers may ignite fires on your home, in your yard or at your business in several ways. In order to have a wildfire-safe home, there are three equally important factors must be implemented:
1) the installation of an exterior fire suppression system like Firestad
2) the smart selection of building materials that will help keep your home or business from igniting by resisting airborne embers created by a wildfire
3) the home or business must have adequate defensible perimeter space, based on the smart selection, placement, and maintenance of near-home vegetation
