When the fire comes, horses can't always run.

We protect barns, paddocks, and the perimeters around them — so horses don't have to choose between a burning barn and an open trailer.

The reality

We've all seen the photos. Horses trapped in barns, smoke-injured, hooves scorched on hot ground, panicked beyond the point a trailer can help. Wildfire evacuations are uniquely dangerous for horse owners — and the chaos of a fast-moving fire means many horses can't be moved in time.

What we install

Safer Chemistry funds the installation of wildfire defense systems around equestrian properties. Our EPA Safer Choice–certified retardant is non-toxic to animals and people, so it can be applied where horses live, eat, and breathe without risk.

Barns & structures

Treated framing, ember-resistant detailing, defensive perimeters.

Hay storage

Specialized treatment to prevent stored fuel ignition.

Paddock perimeters

Vegetation management and treated buffer zones.

Pre-season prep

Property assessment and treatment before fire season.
