At Fireflys Flame Defense, we specialize in protecting exclusive communities, high-value estates, and critical infrastructure from the growing threat of wildfires. With a reputation for precision, professionalism, and performance, we deliver end-to-end fire protection strategies tailored to your property’s unique risks and needs. From risk assessments to emergency response, our mission is simple: protect what matters most—before fire ever reaches your doorstep.
Fireflys Flame Defense was created to reduce wildfire risk, protect lives, and strengthen community resilience. We go beyond emergency response—we work to prevent fire from becoming a disaster in the first place. By combining industry-leading technology, field-tested strategies, and a team of experienced fire professionals, we help clients minimize risk, increase property readiness, build long-term safety infrastructure and promote awareness and education. Our work is proactive, not reactive. We believe fire defense should begin long before flames are visible on the horizon.
With decades of experience in wildland firefighting, risk management, and property protection, our team brings tactical insight and real-world knowledge to every project. We operate at the highest professional standards—many of our experts are active or retired fire service veterans.
Experience tells us that no two properties are the same. We create site-specific wildfire defense strategies that align with your landscape, structure, and exposure level—whether it’s a private estate, gated community, or business.
We’re committed to protecting both property and the environment. Our fire prevention treatments, vegetation management practices, and response protocols are safe, effective, and designed with ecological responsibility in mind.
Our integrated service model covers every phase of wildfire preparedness:
We believe strong communication and collaboration build lasting protection. Fireflys Flame Defense provides ongoing support, client education, and transparent guidance—so you’re never left guessing when it matters most.
Crew Captain
Robert Schneider blends his prior career of education with his love for wildland firefighting to manage risk as a Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialist. He spent five years teaching Outdoor Education in the Florida Keys and Santa Catalina Island, and three years in a formal classroom setting. Obtaining a masters degree further helped his understanding of development, communication, and teaching to a higher standard. As a USFS wildland firefighter on the Inyo National Forest, Robert served four years on a Type 3 Engine and two years on an Interagency Hotshot crew. He then served two years on a Type 6 Engine on the Helena-Lewis & Clark National Forest. Dutifully he responded to initial attack fires, extended attack fires, and assisting other modules by substituting on Helicopter fire crews. During his time at the USFS, Robert learned to coordinate all efforts towards a common goal of saving people’s property and preserving the nation's natural resources. He actively fought fire across the United States including California, Nevada, Utah, Montana, and Alaska. Later in his career he partnered with Sierra Morris on a Type 6 Engine out of Silverthorne, CO working privately for AIG’s Wildfire Protection Unit. Robert expanded his customer service skills by providing fire resiliency to client’s homes and properties through extensive wildfire mitigation inspections. These interactions provided first hand knowledge of fire behavior, fire preparedness, evacuation planning, and reporting suggestions for improvement to structures and vegetation. Robert is ever confident in his abilities and knowledge of wildland fire behavior and firefighting. Having worked for the Federal Government and in private firefighting he has protected public, private and commercial land, and National Monuments. His goal is to reduce insurance costs by providing certified wildfire mitigation inspections to brokers, insurance companies, and local officials. He worked for Rockridge Building Co in the custom residential home building sector, adding to his knowledge of structure composition and building techniques, and safety. Robert hopes to align the due respect for fire with new home building standards. Outside of work, Robert enjoys backcountry and resort skiing, camping with his family, and getting ‘lost’ in the woods with a good trail run.
