Take charge and confidently prepare your property. Matador Fire sets up a Managed Fire Defense System right at your home. This easy-to-use system lets you quickly spray a safe, non-toxic fire retardant that keeps working for days. The protective coating stops blowing embers from starting small fires around your house. It is a smart, hands-on way to take action. By treating your home before you leave, you give firefighters the extra time they need to protect your neighborhood.

Even if the flames miss you, your insurer might not. Across the West, carriers are pulling out of high-risk zip codes — and a home no one will insure is a home you can't sell or refinance. Defense is no longer optional.
Think of it as a fire hydrant that lives on your property and sprays retardant instead of water. A sealed barrel of professional-grade, non-toxic fire retardant, a pump, 100 feet of hose, and a nozzle — engineered to coat your home and the ground around it in a protective layer that stops embers from catching.
Your system is custom designed for your home. Pick the pump that fits how you live — both deliver the same professional-grade coverage.
Incredible flow and pressure, fully independent of the grid. Ideal when a wildfire may knock out power — it runs no matter what.
Push-button quiet, zero fumes, nothing to pull-start. Battery-backed so it works even in a power outage.
3rd party lab certified to meet EPA’s lowest toxicity level, considering it non-toxic for people and pets.
In the 2025 season, professional firefighters applied our retardant to 432 homes. 100% survived.
3rd party tested to suggest runoff into the environment at levels likely to occur would pose minimal risk to aquatic organisms.

We've placed your first system with 100 ft of hose ready to protect the structure. Drag it to a strategic spot on the map, then continue — you'll add more systems and lay out coverage next.
Place systems at strategic spots around the property, then lay each hose along the perimeter so together they reach every structure and area of the yard you want protected.
I’m 67 years old and have a lot of memories stored in my home. I worked with Matador Fire to add more security to my vents, yard and overall property. I can’t thank these guys enough!!
I feel so much better having worked with Matador Fire to protect my home. I have a wood-paneled, ranch style home and having the retardant placed on-property and my vents hardened gives me and my family the best chance for success.
Nate, the CEO and founder, and his staff have earned my confidence… I actually have a lot more peace of mind when I go to sleep at night.
As a firefighter, I’ve seen that what you do before a wildfire hits often decides if a home is still standing. Matador Fire fits that mindset—it doesn’t replace firefighters, but its long-term retardant can buy us precious time to work when we arrive.
Each system stages professional-grade fire retardant on your property with a self-contained gas or electric pump and 100 ft of hose. When fire threatens — in the critical window before an evacuation order — you coat your home and its perimeter. That sharply reduces the chance of ember ignition and buys first responders time to reach a home that's still standing. No plumbing, no sprinkler heads, no changes to your house.
Yes. It's a non-toxic, professional-grade retardant — rated EPA Category 4, the lowest toxicity category — with no heavy metals, and it's Cal Fire tested to California Title 19, Section 1237.1 (State Fire Marshal standard).
No. It washes away cleanly with water — no staining of paint, fascia, glass, or plants. A single coat is all that's needed.
Two on-site visits per year for inspection, maintenance, and training. We test and prime the pump (and, on electric units, test the power source) so the system is ready the moment it matters — and we make sure you're comfortable operating it.
Both deliver the same coverage. Both systems run completely off grid. Your choice is up to personal preference.
Both gas and electric systems reach 25-30 feet vertically — typically sufficient for a one or two-story home.
It depends on your home's footprint and the wildfire vulnerabilities you wish to protect. Each system stages 50 gallons of retardant and covers about 7,500 sq ft. We can design a collection of units to ensure complete coverage. The map planner shows you the layout, and your technician confirms the final count on site.
The system is designed to be simple enough for any homeowner. For those who'd rather not, or are unable to spray, a neighbor or potentially firefighter can leverage your unit to save your home.
Essentially everything: professional installation, the complete system, retardant refill if it expires, two annual maintenance visits, a lifetime guarantee on all parts, and free retardant refills if you spray before a mandatory evacuation order.
California's rules increasingly recognize active wildfire defense, and insurers are watching home-hardening closely. We can't promise a specific discount, but we are routinely talking to insurance and working to get more coverage. (Confirm specifics with your carrier.)
