Jeff Rudes Testimonial:

Defending The Heather House

A longtime friend’s powerful story of preparation and protection.

When the Pacific Palisades Fire Threatened Beverly Hills

During the intense Pacific Palisades Fire, strong winds pushed the fire toward Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Jeff Rudes, owner of the iconic The Heather House at 9550 Heather Rd in Beverly Hills, reached out to his longtime friend Sherwin Ross.

Located next door to Paul McCartney and across the street from Rihanna, The Heather House was directly in the path of danger as embers began to fly.

1,200 Feet of Defense

Sherwin immediately went to the Heather House and set up a full fire defense perimeter using **1,200 feet of Ace Fire Defense hoses** connected to the fire hydrant in front of the property.

Jeff evacuated his family and pets for safety, but together they were fully prepared to stay and defend the home if embers ignited on the property. The hoses were strategically placed to protect against wind-driven embers — the real threat that night.

It was a harrowing evening, but thanks to quick action and professional equipment, The Heather House remained safe.

Jeff Rudes’ Words

“Sherwin and Ace Fire Defense gave us real peace of mind. Knowing we had 1,200 feet of professional hose connected and ready made all the difference. I sleep better now during high wind events knowing we have serious fire defense in place.”

— Jeff Rudes, Owner of The Heather House, Beverly Hills
