"We are typically working hours in advance, or days in advance of the fire passing over a property, and we call that the pre-suppression," he told Business Insider. "We're preparing the property to survive the amount of time that the fire is in proximity to the structure, and then we quickly come back in after the fire is passed to secure the property."
In addition to applying the fire-blocking gels and getting rid of flammable materials, Wildfire Defense System's strategies include cleaning gutters and operating sprinkler systems, according to a fact sheet shared with BI. The famed Getty Villa has so far survived this week's blaze in part because of similar fire-mitigation efforts.
