Just in time!
Our property was made safe by the Embarr Argus!
We experienced a significant bushfire in early Oct 2023 here in Cutagee NSW, where sadly several nearby properties were lost to bushfire. We needed to evacuate early and had an Embarr Argus system recently installed. Many hours passed not knowing what was happening at home whilst the fire ran its course. Local Fire authorities couldn’t reach the house and were, understandably, extremely busy during this fire.
We eventually returned to our home undamaged!
Seeing where the Embarr Argus had activated our sprinklers throughout the fire, it was obvious the bushfire was stopped in its tracks right at the reach of the sprinklers, just beyond the veranda. Additionally, we were surprised at how little the Embarr Argus had used our tank water and diesel pump fuel, very different to others who had manual systems and used all their water.
What more can we say!
A fantastic investment made only a few months before the fire hit! We are very grateful for the protection that the Embarr Argus has provided us.

We live on a 7-acre rural property surrounded by state forest on the outskirts of Collie in the southwest of Western Australia. This is a bushfire prone area experiencing major bushfires throughout the season. Last year we installed the Embarr roll out rooftop sprinkler system as a first stage of direct home protection. The cost effective Embarr system was very easy to customise and construct, requiring minimal tools, skills and time. The sprinklers envelope the house in a moisture bubble protecting the structure from ember attack. In preparation for this season, it was simply a matter of checking the sprinkler heads for any blockages, completing a test run and ensuring that the water supply was accessible. Graham and Diane were amazing, aiding when we could not secure any local suppliers to install a rooftop system that was both affordable and effective. Their comprehensive knowledge of bushfire behaviour, risk mitigation and readiness to provide support was outstanding. I highly recommend the Embarr system to anyone living in more isolated areas with limited access to suppliers and installers.

We live in Ironbank (a high-risk bushfire area) and realised we didn’t really have a proper fire plan other than ‘leave’! Having Embarr installed on our house, we feel safe should we be faced with a fire. We now have Embarr to protect our house, sheds and our lives. Embarr team has a very professional approach, and an excellent product at a reasonable price. I have no hesitation in recommending Embarr.

We have had the Embarr system installed on our home on the Lower Eyre Peninsula.
My husband and I would highly recommend this amazing bushfire safety device to all. Our peace of mind regarding our family safety and that of our home has greatly increased and our ability to not be at home knowing the system will automatically switch on to save our home has given us added freedom and choice.
Additionally, I do not have to rely on my husband to come home from work and start the bushfire sprinkler system – I can grab the grandchildren and dogs and go to a safer place if the situation arises. Lastly, the Embarr team were great – truly knowledgeable, professional and they have provided great customer service to both of us – something we are appreciative of, owning businesses ourselves.

My parents live in a high-risk bushfire area and during the bushfire season there were many stressful days spent worrying about them and constantly checking in to see if they were ok.
Since they have installed an Embarr system all of that worry and stress has been eliminated, along with the half hourly ‘just checking’ phone calls. I now know if there is any danger that both my parents and their property are protected.
Embarr has provided the whole family with peace of mind, could not recommend more highly!

On Tuesday 3 October 2023, a fire swept westward from Coolagoolite towards Barragga Bay and the Four Winds Pavilion. At 2.30pm the sprinklers and Argus detectors were tested, and the site made secure. The sequence of events that followed, captured on CCTV security cameras and a data logger recorded the fire entering the site from the northwest at around 5 pm. Shortly afterwards the sprinklers on the pavilion and shed started, stopping after a few minutes as designed. They re-started a few minutes later, and the cycle repeated itself around fifteen times over the next hour. When the fire swept southwards across the site, to within 5 metres of the pavilion, the building was already soaking wet.
We have no doubt that the Embarr Argus system played a crucial role in saving the pavilion and would be pleased to share our experience with any organisation or individual who was interested.
