SIDEWINDER
Fire Protection System

Smart Wildfire Protection for Modern Developments

Overview of the Sidewinder System

The Sidewinder is RainFire’s premier wildfire defense solution designed for new housing developments and communities in high-risk fire zones. It transforms underutilized fire hydrants into an active neighborhood-wide fire protection system that shields entire communities, not just individual homes.

Built for the Future of Fire Protection

Key Features

  • Concrete Pad Foundation: Installed next to the hydrant to anchor the system securely and ensure long-term durability.
  • Solar Powered Streetlamp Pole: This dual-purpose pole supports the sprinkler system and provides neighborhood lighting, with a height of up to 30 feet for maximum spray coverage and visibility.
  • Universal Hydrant Compatibility: Designed to connect with most standard fire hydrants without the need for major utility upgrades or replacements.

Installation typically takes a few days, including time for the concrete pad to fully cure and the system to be calibrated.
