Wildfire protection, built from firsthand experience.
Wildfire Equipment creates practical structure protection equipment for homeowners, community groups and professional crews—including the patented Water Winger no-ladder rooftop wildfire sprinkler.
A safer way to reach the roof peak
The idea began as wildfire smoke and ash moved toward inventor Bryan Coffey’s cedar log home. Repeatedly climbing a long ladder onto a steep metal roof to place garden sprinklers made one thing clear: homeowners needed a safer, faster way to position sprinklers on the roof peak.
That urgent problem became the Water Winger—a no-ladder rooftop sprinkler designed to help create a wet zone where homes are most exposed to wind-driven embers.
Developed with the people who use it
Years of prototyping, testing and refinement shaped a system made for real wildfire structure protection needs.
Field-informed
Feedback from wildfire-experienced homeowners, engineers and firefighters guided the design.
Purpose-built
The no-ladder system helps place a rooftop sprinkler without climbing onto a steep roof.
Made in Canada
Water Winger equipment is proudly manufactured by Wildfire Equipment in Salmon Arm, BC.
