Structure Defence was founded by firefighters who have witnessed firsthand how homes are lost and what practices have the best survival rates.

In many cases, the fire front never actually reaches the structure. Homes are often lost because embers ignite vulnerable areas around the property - roofs, decks, vegetation and combustable materials near structure.

Understanding these ignition pathways is critical when designing effective protection systems.

Our approach is based on real wildfire behaviour and operational experience, not guesswork.

Warren Gray, co-founder of Structure Defence, serves as Fire Chief for his rural BC community fire department and holds fire Officer level training. Over the past seven years he has deployed to more than a dozen wildfire incidents across BC, gaining firsthand experience with how structures ignite and how they can be protected.

Craig Nygard, co-founder, serves as a Fire Captain in his rural BC community fire hall, and also holds Officer level training. With six years in the fire services and multiple wildfire deployments across the province, Craig brings operational wildfire knowledge and field experience to every system we design.

Together we built Structure Defence to apply real firefighting knowledge to practical home protection systems - helping property owners reduce risk before a wildfire arrives.
