WHY?

Our Climate is Rapidly Changing.

Rising Temperatures

Prolonged Drought

Unpredictable Winds 

Our changing climate is rewriting the wildfire landscape. Hotter temperatures, drier seasons, and more extreme weather are creating conditions where fires ignite faster, spread farther, and burn with unprecedented intensity. Around the world, communities are facing longer fire seasons, more severe fire behaviour, and record-breaking destruction...all driven by environmental shifts that are accelerating year after year.

“As the planet warms … decreasing summer rainfall are all contributing to increased (wild)fire activity.”

Getting Prepared

If a wildfire hit your town, you may only have a few minutes to take action. Being prepared for evacuation could mean the difference between keeping or losing what you love. 

  • Wildfires are fast-moving, heat-driven events that thrive on dry fuels, extreme weather, and unpredictable ember spread. Understanding how they behave is the first step in reducing your vulnerability and protecting what matters most.

  • Most wildfires ignite from lightning, downed power lines, or human activity, then accelerate when winds carry embers far ahead of the fire front. In many cases, it’s these windborne embers, not the flames themselves, that ignite homes and structures.

  • Prepare your home by hardening the exterior, reducing nearby fuels, and sealing off entry points where embers can land and ignite. Installing a high-performance exterior sprinkler system, like Prodigy’s, is one of the most effective ways to shield your home from radiant heat and ember intrusion.

  • Protect your business by strengthening buildings, reducing operational exposure, and putting a wildfire continuity plan in place. An exterior sprinkler system adds a critical layer of defense, safeguarding structures, assets, and long-term operations.
