How It Works
Introducing Wildfire Watchdog. An App that covers your house in water before a wildfire strikes. Simply push a button and watch on camera and see the sensors that all is working and your house will not burn in a wildfire
Push the Button
Simply push the button on your phone or on your computer and the process will start the program within seconds. This works anywhere there is wifi, or cell service, even Off-Grid via satellite connection
Signal Is Accepted
When the controller receives the signal from the button you pushed, it will open the necessary valves and automatically turn on the gas powered water pump.
Automatic and Off - Grid
This is a truly backup off-grid system. If there is no electricity, this will still run self contained. No other company comes close to doing this without electricity. We are the only ones selling remote start gas pumps in the USA
Automatic Water Adjust
External pump, pumping water out of a pool or stream feeding the 500 gallon tank that provides water for the roof sprinklers and pump. The external pump turns on and off automatically before tank is full or empty
One Of A Kind
Patent Pending. You cannot find these pumps being sold anywhere in the USA. We believe that this can be a great advantage to the wildfire protection program. The homeowner needs to be able to trigger the program if at fire shelter, and monitor with app and online cameras
Automatic Valves
Valves open and close to release fresh water and water infused with fire suppressant at the end of the program before your water supply is terminated or right before the fire hits. The fire suppressant keeps the water sticking to the house preventing evaporation
House Fire Sprinklers
Ridge Top, Eave, and Siding Sprinklers are set to seperate valves to enable the proper water pressure to be delivered, measured by the flow meter attached to the main pvc pipe. We customize each controller’s program and pipe and valve manifold to fit your needs.
Move water
fast when it
matters most.
Wildfire Watchdog builds remote-ready wildfire preparedness pump systems — engineered to move water fast, protect pump equipment, and support sprinkler deployment when conditions change.
There's no time to build a water system when the smoke shows up
When wildfire risk gets close, property owners realize they need a fast way to move water from a tank to hoses or sprinklers. Assembling pumps, fittings, and wiring at the last minute is stressful and easy to get wrong — and a pump that loses prime or pulls in debris can fail right when it's needed.
Wildfire Watchdog gets the water-moving equipment ready before the season starts, not during the emergency.
Engineered water path
Every stage is built to protect the pump and keep flow strong — from a gravity-fed tank down to the discharge hose, with optional bypass relief.
Gravity Tank
Tank sits above pump for flooded suction & easy priming.
→2" Shutoff
Ball valve isolates the tank for service.
→2" Reinforced Hose
Won't collapse under suction vacuum.
→150µ Y-Strainer
Protects the aluminum impeller from rocks & debris.
→Honda iGX390
Gas pump set up for automated start/stop.
→2" Type A Camlock
Quick-connect aluminum fitting on the outlet.
→2"×50' Fire Hose
Strong flow to where you need it.
→Bypass Relief
Returns water to tank if a hose kinks or blocks.
One organized package
At the core is a Honda iGX390 gas pump set up for automation, with a 2 inch outlet feeding 2 inch fire hose. The water source sits above pump level for flooded suction and easier priming. Suction hose, strainer, camlocks, controls — chosen to work together as one rugged, deployable unit.
The control system
Built around an ESP32 main controller with ESP8266 wireless relay receivers, so pumps and valves run on command instead of standing at the equipment.
ESP32 Main Unit
The brain — coordinates start/stop and reports status.
ESP8266 Receivers
Relay boxes that switch pumps and valves remotely.
Remote Start / Stop
Operate from a control box, not at the engine.
Tank Valve Control
Open and close supply valves in the sequence.
Drain Valve Control
For service, winterizing, or resetting.
Sensor-Ready
Add flow, pressure & tank-level sensing later.
Tank-low & refill support
A float relay detects when tank water is getting low. The wiring stays simple and reliable:
- 1 One relay contact tells the ESP32 the tank-low status.
- 2 Another relay can request an auxiliary fill pump or valve to top the tank back up.
- 3 The ESP32 can report status to a local dashboard or Tago so you can see what's happening.
Prepared beats improvised
- Faster deployment when conditions change
- Organized hose & camlocks, not loose parts
- Less manual setup at the worst possible time
- Pump protection with filter & bypass relief
- Remote-ready control for start/stop from a distance
- Expandable system that grows with your property
- Built for property readiness & water-transfer support
- Waterproof, organized wiring built to last outdoors
Rugged, serviceable wiring
Systems use waterproof marine connectors, 5-wire harnesses, DIN-rail terminals, and fuses — protected and serviceable instead of a tangle of loose wires.

FAQ
Is this a certified fire sprinkler system?
No. Wildfire Watchdog builds wildfire-preparedness pump automation and water-transfer support equipment. It is not a certified fire sprinkler system and should not be treated as one.
Can it replace evacuation?
No. Nothing replaces evacuation, defensible space, insurance, or the guidance of local authorities and professional firefighting services. This equipment supports water movement and property readiness only.
Can it use my existing water tank?
In many cases, yes. Systems are designed around a tank positioned above the pump for flooded suction. We can talk through your specific tank height and capacity.
Can it run sprinklers?
Sprinkler support is offered as add-on equipment — roof-edge sprinklers, Y splitters, branch lines, and rain guns. We'll discuss what fits your property and water supply.
Does it work off-grid?
Yes. The pump is a Honda iGX390 gas engine and the control electronics are designed to run on DC-friendly power, so the system suits off-grid and remote properties.
Can it be installed on a trailer?
Yes. A trailer-mounted pump system is one of the main configurations, giving you a mobile, rapid-deploy water-transfer setup.
Do I need a qualified installer?
Yes, qualified installation is recommended. Engine wiring, pump installation, fuel system placement, plumbing, and electrical connections should be completed or verified by a qualified installer.
Wildfire Watchdog systems are wildfire-preparedness pump automation and water-transfer support systems. They are not certified fire sprinkler systems, fire alarms, life-safety systems, or a substitute for evacuation, defensible space, insurance, code-required fire protection, or professional firefighting services. Engine wiring, pump installation, fuel system placement, plumbing, and electrical connections should be completed or verified by a qualified installer.
