IT’S TIME TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE FIGHT WILDFIRES
IT'S TIME TO END DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRES
Around the world, the severity of extreme wildfire events (EWEs) is increasing, driving over 80 percent of fire-related damages globally and costing approximately $350 billion in damages annually in the United States alone. EWEs spread faster and burn larger areas at higher intensities, wreak havoc on ecosystems, drive up global greenhouse gas emissions, cause long-term global economic burdens, and often result in devastating injuries and loss of life. Despite these high environmental and economic costs, fire management technologies have not evolved significantly in decades, and best practices have not changed in almost a century.
“We have been fighting wildfires the same way for decades – it’s not working, and the destruction is getting increasingly worse. We need a radical re-invention of how we detect and battle these blazes,” said Peter H. Diamandis, Executive Chairman of the Board, XPRIZE.
It's commendable that Sherwin Ross, or "Ace," was so moved by his experience serving during the Woolsey, California Fire that he became passionate about educating homeowners to be better prepared for future wildfires. His statement that "No one is prepared" is a sobering reminder that wildfires can happen at any time and that it's crucial to have a plan and the proper tools to defend against them. It's great to see individuals like Ace working to make a difference and help communities prepare for the inevitable.
It's interesting to know that Sherwin Ross, or "Ace," is a Tony Robbins Ultimate Fire Team member who volunteers around the world to build the fires that thousands of people walk on to transform their lives. This shows that he is not only committed to helping prevent and prepare for wildfires but also to improving people's lives and making a positive impact in the world. His involvement with the Tony Robbins Ultimate Fire Team demonstrates his dedication to personal growth and development, which can also be applied to his work at Ace Fire Preparedness & Defense.
Wildfires could increase by increase 33% by 2050.

This statement acknowledges the value of organizing community meetings to promote fire safety and disaster preparedness.
The speaker, a 44-year veteran of the fire service, suggests that local fire departments could host a citizen's academy to educate residents about safety and promote community involvement.
The academy could serve as an opportunity for residents to learn basic firefighting skills, and in turn, become positive liaisons for the community.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of looking at the big picture and highlights that with a little effort, residents can be easily taught the basics of fire safety and disaster preparedness, just like they are taught about guns, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.

Kevin Sprout, Battalion 17 CERT Team Lead, Lake Manor Chatsworth, California"90% of structure fires are caused by embers getting sucked into vents or falling in a pile of leaves or firewood on the side of the building."
It's important to be resourceful and prepared for unexpected fires. Consider filling a garbage can with professional firefighting equipment and storing it on your porch. This way, if a fire breaks out in your area, you can quickly and efficiently defend your property. Remember to always follow safety protocols and have a plan in place in case of an emergency.
Embers flying in the wind can cause up to 90% of structure fires, often entering through vents.

Founding Partner Ross witnessed the start Woolsey Fire.
No one would have thought that in the next 24 hours, this would be the most destructive wild fire in Southern California history!
The events of November 8, 2018 in California were chaotic and overwhelming. The day began with the devastating Camp Fire in Paradise, followed by the Hill Fire, and the Woolsey Fire, which started just an hour later. With all three fires burning simultaneously, firefighting resources were stretched thin, especially with the added challenge of a mass shooting incident that had occurred just hours earlier. The LA City, LA County, and Ventura County Fire Departments, although regularly practicing for large fires, were not prepared for the complete exhaustion of California's firefighting resources. Despite their efforts, many resource orders for the Woolsey Fire were unable to fill, leaving firefighters to work with what they had. At Ace Fire Preparedness & Defense, we value integrity and honor and strive to provide the best possible resources to help you prepare for emergencies.
Prepare for the unexpected.
The CERT training by Los Angeles Fire Department taught us that most people are just not prepared for an emergency.
When would now be a great time to put together a plan?
The increasing destruction caused by wildfires in recent years has highlighted the importance of disaster preparedness. It is crucial to prioritize preparing for unexpected disasters such as fires and earthquakes, as they can cause sudden and significant disruptions to our lives. We must remain vigilant and take steps to be prepared for these events to minimize the damage they can cause.

Like so many in California, we live on the wildland interface, which is constantly under threat of fire. We’re lucky to have fire hydrants in our neighborhood and we’ve considered getting some hose, nozzles and tools for that “just in case” situation where things are so bad the fire department is delayed arriving (it’s happened before within a couple of miles from here). The goal is to just keep any fire at bay long enough for the fire department to get here and save the house and outbuildings that otherwise may have caught fire.
I’m no firefighter, but I can read, operate a fire hydrant, and hook up hose and nozzle to get water on areas where embers might start a blaze. If I never have to use this equipment, I’ll consider myself lucky. But, if I need it, I have it. It could easily be the difference between a standing house or one of many burned out lots in the subdivision.
The quality of Ace’s products are more than sufficient for this use case, without paying 1.5x to 3x the price for gear sold to fire fighters for more frequent use. We tested the equipment on our local hydrant that the water company reports is at 130 psi with no issue.
Customer service is great, with Sherwin reaching out to see if we need any assistance and are happy with the purchase.
We are very pleased with Ace's products, It is every bit as good as advertised. We are even more impressed that Ace would come out personally and show us exactly how to use the product by setting up a live demonstration. I will sleep a lot better knowing that I have a good fire defense system in place, should ever the need to use it occur.
We recently purchased fire fighting equipment for our entire neighborhood. Looking forward to the added longevity at these thick walled hoses, and not very much more than the thinner walls. Our experience with Ace has been extremely smooth. The owner was very, very helpful to us.
Our neighborhood pulled funds together to buy for fighting equipment. Ace has quality i trust and good prices. Customer service was excellent. Highly recommended! The owner really cares because he lives in a high fire zone threat area too.
What a pleasant experience getting the equipment I needed replaced after the Palisades fire. Ace has the best quality gear, knowledge and experience to set you up!

Excellent quality fire hoses!
I bought two of these houses for home defense with a water pump and they are extremely well-made. Amazing quality. Buy them! Don’t hesitate! Thank you, Sherwin!
Very good quality device, valves tight and smooth. Delivery was quick as well. Hopefully we never need to use it, but I'm confident it will do the job if we do need to!
I’m a retired firefighter with 34 years of experience. My home is susceptible to wild land fires. Fortunately, I have a fire hydrant 200 feet from my house. I bought several sections of hose and nozzles to protect the house in the event of a fire. The quality of the products is on the light duty side, but is perfectly acceptable for occasionally use. The Los Angeles fires were a wake up call. I looked at my own home with a more critical eye and realized how much combustible material I had on or near my house. Now that the exterior of my house has been tidied up along with the addition of fire hose and nozzles, as well as goggles and gloves, and a nomex hood. I feel much more prepared if something should blow through. Be careful and pick your battles. I could have scrounged older hoes from my former fire department, but I did not feel it was worth the risk, older hoes can fail without notice. My neighborhood is situated in such a way if everything goes to shit and I have to run for my life I have many safe areas of refuge.
