Roughly 24% of National Register properties sit in counties with high or very high wildfire risk. Fifteen years of advocacy, finally in motion.
Read the storyFrom the habitats that didn't get an evacuation order to the buildings that have stood for centuries — every project is a real animal, a real place, a real outcome.
Wolves, raptors, sanctuary animals — they don't get an evacuation order. We install non-toxic wildfire defense around the enclosures and habitats they can't leave.
Meet the projectHorses can't always run. We harden barns, paddocks, and perimeters with a non-toxic retardant that's safe to use where animals live, eat, and breathe.
Meet the projectMission San Juan Capistrano has stood since 1776. Our EPA Safer Choice–certified treatment hardens centuries-old timber and adobe without harming the building or the air around it.
See the projectThree steps separate a toxic chemical from one a family can live with. We've spent two decades on every one.
The world's only EPA Safer Choice–certified fire retardant. Two decades of testing — UL, ASTM, CAL FIRE.
Treated framing, defensive perimeters, and ember-resistant assemblies — installed for families, sanctuaries, and barns.
Every install is a proof point. We open-source what works so the next sanctuary or landmark can start where we left off.
"Two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old timber doesn't get a second chance. Safer Chemistry's treatment is the difference between a wildfire scare and a permanent loss."
"For the first time, we have a fire retardant we can use around the horses without worrying about what they're breathing in afterward."
"Every other retardant I've worked with came with a respirator and a warning label. Steve's didn't. That changes everything."
Wildfire season is no longer a season — it's most of the year. Your gift today funds the plans, the materials, and the boots-on-the-ground work that keeps homes standing and families together.
