Your landscape / Your priorities
Start with
what grows here.
Missoula-area properties can meet valley grassland and ponderosa pine or Douglas-fir slopes. Treatment planning looks at where those natural fuels approach maintained grounds.
We assess suitable ground fuels where natural vegetation meets maintained property. Treatment can be planned around a residence, guest cabin, selected private-road areas or shared grounds as part of a wider preparedness plan.
Vegetation varies from property to property. We confirm suitable treatment areas during your assessment.
Local & regional wildfire history
A reason to plan ahead.
Past fires in the Lolo and Missoula region give context to the importance of preparedness. These are historical examples, not current incident alerts.
For your property, the next step is to understand today’s vegetation, improve defensible space and consider suitable supplemental treatment. These incidents are not evidence that a particular product would have changed the outcome.
Why Komodo pretreatment
Treat the fuel.
Prepare ahead.
WTG professionally applies Komodo long-term fire retardant to suitable vegetation and ground fuels before a wildfire occurs.
01 / Fire behavior
Help slow fire spread.
Long-term retardant changes how treated fuel burns, helping slow fire spread and reduce fire intensity. Treatment focuses on the selected fuels within your agreed scope.
02 / Beyond water alone
Works after drying.
The retardant action continues after the application water evaporates. Weather, irrigation and changes to treated vegetation affect when inspection or reapplication is needed.
03 / Professional application
A focused plan for your land.
WTG handles the treatment review, application and completion record. You know which areas are included, what preparation is needed and what the work costs before deciding.
Komodo is described by its manufacturer as colorless and odorless; a white residue may be visible. We discuss appearance and suitability when reviewing your property. Learn more about Komodo.
