Hi I am Mark, founder of RF1.
Our Mission
In January 2025, I lost everything I owned to the Eaton Fire—my home, my memories, my sense of security. It was a moment that shattered life as I knew it. But in the ashes of that disaster, a friend came to me with a powerful idea—what if we could help others avoid the heartbreak I experienced? That idea became Ready Fire One.
We are building an end-to-end fire protection service that blends cutting-edge hardware, smart technology, and hands-on service to help homeowners defend what matters most. We’re not just in the fire protection business—we’re in the business of peace of mind.
This mission is deeply personal. I know what it’s like to watch everything disappear in a flash. I also know that preparedness shouldn't be a luxury—it should be accessible to everyone, no matter where they live or how much they make. That's why Ready Fire One isn’t just a company. It's a promise: to stand with families before the flames ever arrive. Whether you’re here to protect your home, support our mission, or invest in a future where fewer people have to start over from scratch, thank you. We're honored to have you with us.

Ready Fire One was fantastic to work with. They were very professional and knowledgeable about exactly what needed to be done to better protect my home. The team worked quickly and efficiently—finishing the entire job in just two working days, and they even coordinated everything around my schedule. I feel a lot more peace of mind now knowing that we've significantly reduced the risk of embers getting into the house through the vents. Living in an area where Santa Ana winds and dry days are a real concern, that reassurance is invaluable. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to harden their home against wildfire risks.
