WTG helps Ravalli County owners take a proactive approach to wildfire preparedness. We assess your property, define the treatment areas and professionally apply Komodo to suitable vegetation and ground fuels.
We confirm availability and travel as part of your quote.
The Bitterroot Valley includes open working land and wooded foothills. Around Hamilton, a property may bring a residence, outbuildings and natural vegetation into one assessment.
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.
Past fires in the Bitterroot region give context to the importance of preparedness. These are historical examples, not current incident alerts.

WTG professionally applies Komodo long-term fire retardant to suitable vegetation and ground fuels before a wildfire occurs.
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.
The retardant action continues after the application water evaporates. Weather, irrigation and changes to treated vegetation affect when inspection or reapplication is needed.
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.
