When Wildfires Hit Home | Los Angeles News

When LA’s January 2025 wildfires left neighbors homeless and people feeling helpless, one local, Nate Snyder, turned that pain into action. He launched Matador Fire — a DIY wildfire defense system that puts professional-grade, eco-friendly retardant in every homeowner’s hands. With a pump and hose that shoots protection up to 35 feet, it covers your property in under 15 minutes. Designed for communities, not just individuals, Matador Fire empowers neighbors to work together, buying firefighters time and resources. From portable mini stations to ember-proof vents, it’s about turning fear into control — because fighting wildfires isn’t a solo battle anymore.
