Okanagan wildfire protection
Wildfire protection,
deployed when you need it.
When fire threatens your home, our crew drives out and sets up sprinklers, pumps and water lines across your property. You don't buy it, store it, or run it. We do.
We size our crew and equipment to the homes we reserve, so 2027 is capped by neighbourhood and region. Reserve now to lock the Founding Member rate; it rises in 2027 if a spot's left.
How it works
Protection without the price tag of a permanent system
Four steps. Most of the work happens long before there's any smoke.
Free assessment
When you sign up, we walk your property and map the exact layout: how many sprinklers, whether you need a pump or reservoir, and where each piece goes.
Subscribe for the season
Pay a simple monthly fee across the summer (May - Oct). No big purchase, no crews drilling permanent hardware into your home.
We deploy on a threat
When an official wildfire alert covers your property, our crew sets up your pre-planned system, on site within 48 hours and usually sooner. We start it remotely once ember risk picks up, so we're not spending your water before it counts. We may also deploy ahead of an alert when we judge the risk warrants it.
We pack it up
Once the threat passes, we come back and take it all away. Your yard goes back to normal until the next time.
The real threat
Embers, not flames, burn down most homes
A wildfire rarely reaches your walls. Wind-driven embers do. They blow far ahead of the fire, settle into gutters, vents and deck boards, and quietly set the house alight. Embers cause 80 to 90% of the homes lost in a wildfire. Soaking your roof, walls and yard is what stops them.

Why H2O Deploy
A smarter middle ground
Buy your own gear and you store it, maintain it, and learn to run it in an emergency. A permanent custom system runs into the tens of thousands. We sit in between.

Will we actually be there?
The whole service is worthless if we don't show up
So we built the company backwards from that one promise. Engineers who've built and run companies before, crews who know wildfire, and a deployment plan we stress-tested against the worst local fire in memory: the 2023 McDougall Creek fire in West Kelowna.
We cap how many homes we take per area precisely so the math works when several alerts hit at once. That's the same reason spots are limited.
What backs the promise
The gear
The same equipment used on the fire line
Sized and placed for your home, set up by people who do it for a living.
Impact sprinklers
Soak the roof, walls and ground so embers can't catch.
High-volume pump
Moves water from your source - a pool, lake, well, or our reservoir.
Water reservoir
On-site water for when the municipal supply is cut or unavailable.
Hoses & fittings
Everything that ties the system together.
Where a municipal water connection is available and local regulations allow it, we'll use it. That supply often isn't reliable once a fire moves in, so we plan around an independent source as well: our reservoir, your pool, a lake, well or pond.

Become a 2027 Founding Member
We're buying equipment and booking crew against the homes we reserve, so 2027 is capped by area and filling now. A $75 reservation locks your Founding Member rate and holds your place. Wait until 2027 and the rate climbs, if there is availability.
