BrandGuard Vents develops ember defense solutions for residential ventilation, offering a patented system designed to keep embers from entering homes during wildfires. The concept originated in 2003 when Brent Berkompas, then a firefighter in the City of San Bernardino, observed embers penetrating vent openings and recognized the need for protection. The company is a small team based in Lake Forest, California, operating within the wholesale building materials sector. Its customers are homeowners in Wildland Urban Interface areas seeking to reduce ignition risk through enhanced vent protection. It operates within the Tenmat Group, a cluster of fire-safety companies, and in August 2023 it announced a partnership with All Risk Shield.
