Wildfire Defense Pumps in Nevada City, CA
Nevada City, Deer Creek, and the North San Juan area sit in steep, wooded terrain where fire moves fast through dense canopy. These communities fall within CAL FIRE's High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones — check your address on the CAL FIRE FHSZ map. A gas-engine wildfire defense pump turns water you already have into a defense line for your roof, walls, and the trees and brush around your home.
The pump drafts water through a suction hose from your pool, pond, or tank and pushes it through fire hose or sprinklers. No grid power or municipal water pressure is needed.
Steep Wooded Lots and Hose Runs
Nevada City's hillside lots mean hose often has to climb slopes and wind through trees to reach the roofline and defensible space. Our twin-stage high-pressure pumps are built to keep pressure up over those long, uphill runs so water still reaches the roof and the far side of the lot. Sprinkler carts wet the vegetation nearest the structure; a hand line handles the roof and decks.
Pumping When Grid Power Is Out
Wildfires regularly knock out power before they reach a neighborhood. Every system we sell is engine-driven and grid-independent, so it starts and runs whether the lights are on or not. That's the whole point — defense that works when everything else doesn't.
What Gels and Foams Do
Water evaporates; gels and foams cling to siding, decks, and vegetation and keep them wet far longer, stretching your water supply. We carry retardant kits that pair with any pump. Storage tanks are available for lots without a pool or pond.
Our free property wildfire risk assessment evaluates your water source, lot, slope, and vegetation and recommends the right setup. Systems start at $3,459, shipping included (tax extra). Start your free assessment, browse systems, or read the pump guide. See our full service area.
