Wildfire Protection System FAQs

Emco systems are modular, removable wildfire property-protection systems rather than permanently installed sprinklers. Homeowners deploy equipment when needed, operate compatible components through the Emco app, and can reconfigure or move the system.

No. Homeowners deploy and prepare the modular components. Once set up, compatible functions can be monitored and controlled through the Emco app. Always prepare before conditions become unsafe and follow evacuation orders.

Compatible equipment can be monitored and operated remotely when the system has power and connectivity and your phone has internet access.

System configuration depends on the available water source. Compatible pumps may draw from properly configured tanks, pools, ponds, creeks, rivers, and other sources. Obtain permission and follow applicable laws and regulations.

Components are designed for outdoor operation, but storage and maintenance requirements vary. Protect equipment during extended periods of non-use and follow the owner's manual and engine manufacturer's fuel and storage instructions.

Store pumps and vulnerable components indoors or under cover for extended non-use. Maintain fuel, batteries, hoses, fittings, and strainers according to the owner's manual, and complete a preseason inspection and test.

Setup time depends on the property, selected equipment, and configuration. Practice setup before wildfire season and never remain behind once authorities direct you to evacuate.

Systems are designed for homeowner setup. Third-party professional setup assistance may be available depending on location, scheduling, and demand.

Yes. The modular platform supports compatible additions. Some changes may require Emco programming, configuration, and testing so components work together correctly.

Yes. Core components can move with you, although a new property may require different hoses, connections, placement, or additional equipment.

The Emco app presents wildfire information from third-party sources and can send notifications about reported activity. Use alerts to prepare, but rely on official emergency information and evacuation orders.

Paid system configurations include dedicated connectivity and power equipment. Operation still depends on equipment condition, fuel or battery state, network availability, and proper setup.

No. Compatible third-party Wi-Fi cameras may be used through their own apps. Emco cameras are integrated into the Emco app for combined monitoring and controls.

Yes. The Fire Rover includes an integrated camera near the nozzle to help an operator view and direct water through the Emco app when connectivity is available.

Emco systems include a five-year limited warranty for covered defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the published warranty terms and proper storage, maintenance, and operation.

Emco does not directly provide installation services. The team may connect customers with insured third-party installers where available.

Emco provides guidance for setup, operation, maintenance, upgrades, and equipment support. Existing customers can use the contact page for warranty, parts, service, or urgent equipment-support requests.

Systems purchased during the first 36 months of commercial sales are part of the Emco Pioneer Program. Participating customers can request the latest compatible production replacement if a covered modular component does not perform as intended during an actual wildfire event. Emco provides covered modules at no charge; customers pay applicable shipping costs. Optional compatible module upgrades and software improvements help earlier systems benefit from lessons learned through real-world use. Full terms, covered modules, exclusions, and coverage periods are supplied with each order.

Yes. Compatible sprinklers, water cannons, cameras, pumps, and the Fire Rover can be configured around a property's needs and water source.

Configured systems include dedicated power and connectivity equipment, but continued operation depends on correct setup, equipment condition, available fuel or battery capacity, and network availability.
