When it comes to application of a revolutionary new fire retardant, smarter is better.
No one is more qualified to apply this revolutionary new fire retardant. And no one else has the cutting edge tools to apply it.
When Jack was Komodo’s Director of Operations, he learned more about applying the product than anyone. He also saw a need – to work with communities and homeowner groups in protecting their properties, while the Komodo corporation is focusing on large contracts with state governments. Thus Redwood Fire was born. And our alliance with Team Wildfire gives us a continued pipeline of patented, state of the art technologies that are changing the face of fire protection.
There is no other Komodo “application expert” more qualified than Jack Kimmich’s group at Redwood Fire Protection, because Jack helped develop Komodo’s revolutionary product line. When Jack was working as director of operations with Komodo, he saw an opportunity to work directly with consumers and communities, while the company could focus on large contracts with state governments. Thus Redwood Fire Protection was born. And our alliance with Team Wildfire gives us a continued pipeline of patented, cutting edge technologies that are changeing the face of fire protection.
The latest technology, the safest retardant, and the finest crew available make for a team you can rely on for your fire protection needs.
