The Australian bush is brutal, fire can come from any direction and you need to be ready for it. EmberAttack is one part of a larger solution to protect your home in a program of maintenance and prevention creating a waterfall from your gutters.

Keeping roofs, gutters, and surrounding vegetation moist can significantly reduce the risk of ember ignition.
A reliable water supply can help protect your home from ember attack and allow you to respond quickly to spot fires before they spread. During a bushfire, it is not only the amount of water available that matters, but also having reliable equipment ready to use when needed.

Water tanks should also have protected fittings and backup access in case mains power or primary pump systems fail.
