Santa Barbara Homes Protected by Foam
FOAMSAFE Systems Protect Homes During Recent Wildfires

VENTURA, CA- Consumer Fire Products, Inc. announced another successful deployment of its products in the Santa Barbara area. For a second time, its FOAMSAFE Mobile Systems were deployed to protect structures in Montecito from raging wildfire. FOAMSAFE Mobile Systems cover structures in foam to stop them from catching fire.

FOAMSAFE Crews are privately hired and staged at a specific property for the duration of their hire; they focus on each client that retains them. Working around the clock and equipped with FOAMSAFE Mobile Systems, these crews are ready to extinguish any embers or spot fires that can easily start on site and can cause the destruction of the client’s home.

“Homeowners can be in control of their property once they leave, via direct communication with our dispatch team”, says Irene Rhodes, CEO. “We operate in 24 hour cycles and vigilantly care for the property, while updating the client on the wildfire threat. We are armed with high-tech CAFS (compressed air foam systems) which can extinguish and pre-treat structures and vegetation with no adverse effects from the foam product we use,” adds Rhodes.

Because they are not mandated by an agency, but hired directly by homeowners to help protect their homes from damage by wildfire, they are not directly in the path of the firefighters trying to control and extinguish the wildfires and protect a large number of homes that are threatened.

Consumer Fire Products, Inc has also introduced stationary systems, the FOAMSAFE FireMaster System, to give clients piece of mind during any wildfire event without bringing in an extra crew. These units are installed on a property and are programmed to automatically activate and blanket the structures and vegetation with SilvexÔ Class A Foam whether someone is present or not. Once the unique fire detectors detect a fire, the patent pending system does the rest. It not only sprays the foam in one sequence, but repeats the foaming as needed to continue to help protect the property for as long as necessary. The green system needs no external power, and can be monitored or controlled via the Internet.

“When you buy or build a house you get insurance, factor in the costs of maintenance and repair, taxes, landscaping etc…. After living through my first wildfire, the Tea Fire of 2008, now I would never consider home ownership without a FOAMSAFE system from Consumer Fire Products. To me it is unthinkable not to protect my most important investment to the fullest extent possible, said Sarah from Montecito, whose parent’s home was protected by the system in both the Jesusita and TEA fires.

Various insurance brokers have approved the FOAMSAFE FireMaster Series System, and Consumer Fire Products, Inc. is currently working with Chubb Insurance to become a Preferred Provider of Exterior Fire Protection Systems. They have been informed by the insurance providers that a property with this system installed can receive up to 25% off of the cost of fire insurance premiums, made by Consumer Fire Products, Inc.

Consumer Fire Products is reaching out to Santa Barbara residents in the wake of the recent Jesusita fire to educate them on proper home protection, helping families prepare their homes in case of future events.
