What Fire Retardant Can—and Cannot—Do
Applying Komodo, a federally certified fire retardant, to vegetation fuels can provide months of protection. But it does not eliminate the need for appropriate vegetation management, system hardening, or emergency response. It is a tool that should be used in addition to the recommendations provided by local fire authorities and fact-based national guidelines.
How it Works
-
Vegetation is fuel.
-
When it ignites, wildfire spreads rapidly—often faster than suppression can react.
-
Komodo activates when exposed to heat, helping treated fuels resist ignition.
-
Treatments are designed to last through a typical fire season, not indefinitely.
-
Komodo is "benign by design" composed of food-safe ingredients and earth-derived minerals, free of restricted or harmful chemicals.
