The EmberAttack Waterfall Mode is your best protection when water supply is available during a bushfire event. Learn how to activate this powerful defense system.

Ember attack is the most common way houses catch fire during bushfires, occurring when wind carries burning debris (embers, twigs, leaves, bark) far ahead of the main fire, lodging in gaps, gutters, or on flammable materials around a home to ignite it, often before the fire front even arrives. These burning fragments can travel kilometres, creating new spot fires and overwhelming properties with multiple ignition points, making defense crucial.
