About Chris

My name is Chris Figureida.  I was born and raised in Ventura County, California.

I enjoy living in California because of the close-knit communities surrounded by amazing natural beauty. But with the natural beauty also comes the risk of wildfire.  In 2017, I was lucky that my home survived the Thomas Fire, but many friends and neighbors lost everything.  And even though I was ok, I still felt helpless to defend mine or my neighbors’ homes against Mother Nature.

As a community, I want all of us to be better prepared and have a greater chance of protecting our homes and possibly those around us.  I researched affordable solutions and was intrigued by pump carts that use water from an existing pool or tank, and spray enough water to be effective.  But my online research only found cheaply constructed carts, without a strong enough pump/motor, with hoses and fittings of too poor quality to be of any use, or that were so expensive that they were cost prohibitive for most people to own.

As a professional engineer and fabricator I decided to build my own, and put together the strongest pump/motor combination on a compact cart, with everything that you would need and ready to go, that can reliably perform in the toughest situations, at a price point that I think most homeowners can afford to invest. I created this website where you can find more information and facilitate easy and protected transactions.

My goal is not to get rich from selling these, but to get them in the hands of enough residents that we can collectively help defend the value of not only our own homes, but also those of our families, friends, and neighbors.

Best regards,

Chris Figureida
