Ace Fire Defense: Professional Wildfire Protection for Your Home.

Ace Fire Defense, based in Woolsey Canyon, West Hills, California, provides professional-grade wildfire defense equipment and training for homeowners who want to actively protect their properties during wildfire events.


  • The company focuses on a critical reality: approximately 90% of structure losses in wildfires are caused by wind-driven embers, not direct flame contact. This understanding drives their mission — to empower homeowners with the right tools and knowledge to defend their homes when evacuation is not the only option.
  • Co-Founded by Sherwin “Ace” Ross, Ace Fire Defense was created to give property owners practical solutions for wildfire preparedness. Drawing from real-world experience fighting wildfires in Southern California, the company specializes in high-performance equipment designed specifically for civilian wildfire defense.
  • At the core of their offerings is the Fire Safe Home Pro Bundle™, a comprehensive kit that includes 300 feet of 1.75-inch firefighter-grade attack hose, a heavy-duty 3-inch gas-powered pool pump, hydrant valves, professional nozzles, a wrench, and a fire blanket. All hoses are built to meet strict durability and pressure standards (NFPA-compliant).
  • Ace Fire Defense emphasizes that effective wildfire defense does not involve soaking trees or landscaping. Instead, the focus is on proper preparation of the Home Ignition Zone and having reliable tools ready to extinguish embers before they ignite structures.
  • From their headquarters in Woolsey Canyon, Ace Fire Defense delivers FM-approved and NFPA-compliant equipment, supported by same-day shipping and local delivery for Southern California customers. The company also conducts regular training sessions and community workshops, including town hall meetings at Chatsworth Lake Church.
  • Customer feedback highlights the effectiveness of their products during recent California wildfires, with many homeowners successfully using the hoses and hydrant systems to defend their properties.
