Another product they may wish to consider for around $2,200 is this:

Home Defense Unit--4000 PSI, FireIce®

FireIce® is a state of the art, water enhancing, fire suppressant and structure protectant. It is currently being utilized by firefighters, first responders, and military personnel both domestically and internationally.

When mixed with water, FireIce® is highly effective as a medium-term fire retardant for structure protection. FireIce® was designed to aid the fire service to significantly reduce the loss of life and property. The next progression was to develop a solution for the homeowner.

During times of crisis, fire departments cannot offer protection for every homeowner as resources become extremely limited. The FireIce® HDU™ was created to give the homeowner an additional line of defense that enables them to save their home and personal property from the threat of an advancing fire. This larger more powerful unit (4000 PSI / 4 Gallons Per Minute) is ideal for homeowners with homes larger than 5,000 sq. feet.

FireIce® adds lasting protection to your shrubs, trees and surrounding landscape
