Built for Everyone on Scene

Who Can Use a Hainy Hydrant?

A Hainy Hydrant can be operated by anyone on scene, with no power, app, or training required. Turn the valve. Pick up the hose. That's it.

The Homeowner Who Stays

You know your property, your access points, and where fire approaches from. A permanent hydrant means you can respond to ember ignitions immediately, before they become something bigger.

The Neighbor Who Helps

You may evacuate. Your neighbor may stay. Whoever is on scene can defend your home. Fully equipped, no setup required. The system is always ready for whoever shows up first.

The First Responder Who Arrives

Built with the same professional-grade equipment used by the US Forestry Service and LA County Fire Department. NH fittings are standard across all fire departments, when a crew arrives, they hook up and go.

Why Your Water Main Can Fight Fire

Your home already has the water. We give you the equipment to use it.

Most residential water mains deliver 50-150 PSI, pressure that gets reduced once it enters the home. A Hainy Hydrant connects upstream of that drop and harnesses the full force of what's already there, delivering maximum pressure at the nozzle when you need it.

Hainy Hydrant vs. Garden Hose

A Hainy Hydrant delivers 30+ gallons per minute through a professional fire-rated hose; a garden hose manages about 8 and melts under radiant heat. Here's how the two compare on the numbers that matter in a fire.

Our Story

Two Generations. One Mission.

Matt Haines is a builder and an L.A. County Call Firefighter who has lived in Corral Canyon, Malibu, since the 1990s. He's been through some of the most devastating wildfires in California history, the Corral Fire, the Woolsey Fire, the Palisades Fire, and has been involved on the ground, protecting his community.

When the Corral Fire swept through Malibu, Matt was on the ground defending homes in his neighborhood with his own personal fire equipment. After saving multiple neighbors' homes, he was recognized with the city's Citizen of the Year honor, the Malibu Dolphin Award. Since then, he knew the way to save your home is to take first action, and he began installing hydrant systems throughout Malibu communities. Today, every third house on his street has one.

Now his son-in-law Lasse has joined the mission. Two generations, both from construction, with a shared passion for protecting the communities they live in. They're bringing Hainy Hydrant, built on decades of real firefighting experience, to more families across California.

"I didn't set out to start a company. I just wanted my neighbors to be properly equipped to save their family homes."

FAQ

Common Questions

A private fire hydrant is a residential fire-protection system that taps into your home water main and lets you fight an approaching wildfire with professional-grade fire hose and pressure, without waiting for the fire department. Hainy Hydrant systems start at $1,750 and are designed to be operated by anyone on the property: homeowners, neighbors, or first responders.

Starter packages are $1,750 and HERO packages with dual outlets are $2,750, plus about $500 for standard installation. It's extremely effective, tested gear that every home should have, and far more affordable than other fire protection systems.

Most homes in Malibu and the West Side have 50-150 PSI, which is more than enough to run a professional fire hose. During your free assessment, we test your exact pressure and flow rate on site so you know precisely what your water main can deliver before you commit.

Every package ships with the fittings and instructions, so a handy homeowner can install it. We recommend a licensed plumber, who can connect it to your water main in about 3 hours.

No. A Hainy Hydrant connects on the private side of your water meter, the same as any other external faucet on your property, so no city permit or fire department approval is required in California. The fittings still use standard fire-department threads, so a crew can connect to it if they arrive.

Minimal. There's no electricity, pump, or moving parts on the hydrant. We recommend testing it and opening the water flow once every 6 months, and again before fire season and red flag warnings. The equipment is made in America from premium materials.

Yes. The hydrant needs only water, so there's nothing to fail when power or cell networks go down. The optional pool pump system does use power, and it can run off a backup electricity supply.

The hydrant runs on your home's water main, so if the municipal supply loses pressure, the hydrant does too. The pool pump system solves this by drawing water straight from your pool, keeping your protection running independent of the city supply. Your water main is also fed by the same municipal network the fire department works to keep pressurized during a fire, so it stays supplied as long as possible.

A Hainy Hydrant is designed to be operable by anyone on scene, no specialized training required. Many homes have been defended by neighbors who knew where the hydrant was, or by first responders who arrived and saw the equipment already staged and ready to go.

California carriers increasingly look for documented wildfire mitigation, and we provide installation records, system specs, and photos that you can submit to your insurance agent. We're also currently working to arrange premium discounts for Hainy Hydrant owners, which we're confident will be available in the near future, given our outcome data and endorsements from the industry.

It started in 2007 with founder Matt Haines, a Malibu Call Firefighter and licensed contractor, on his own family's property in Corral Canyon. Today, installations are handled by licensed plumbers who are highly experienced in fitting Hainy Hydrants on all kinds of properties.
