As a Certified Partner Installer, Montana Wildfire Sprinkler Systems is the team on the ground that turns plans into real-world protection for our clients.



First introduced to Frontline through a contact in forest management, Joel Hildreth, owner and lead technician of Montana Wildfire Sprinkler Systems, was immediately drawn to the innovation behind the hardware and the opportunity to pioneer this level of wildfire protection in Montana. That shared vision has made his team the sole Frontline partner in Bozeman, serving Southwestern Montana with plans to expand even further.
“Our mission aligns closely with Frontline’s,” Joel explains. “We want to provide a top-of-the-line product while making sure customers feel informed, educated, and fully satisfied throughout the process.”
That customer-first approach is delivered by a tight-knit crew of four. Joel acts as the primary problem solver and project lead, working alongside his brother Josh, who handles logistics and field coordination. Technicians Gary, the crew’s resident morale booster, and James round out the team with hard work and a sharp eye for detail. Together, the crew prides themselves on fast turnaround times, strong troubleshooting capabilities, and clean workmanship.
“The most common feedback we receive is that our crew is quick, hardworking, and knowledgeable,” says Joel. “Customers often comment on the professionalism of the install and how impressed they are with the finished appearance—especially how the copper piping ‘just disappears’ because of the attention to detail. Most importantly, customers appreciate the confidence and peace of mind the system provides.”
By combining technical trade expertise with a professional, respectful presence on every jobsite, the Montana Wildfire Sprinkler Systems crew delivers the exact peace of mind that defines the Frontline experience. “Joel’s craftsmanship, attention to detail, and highly skilled team have proven to be a massive asset in the Big Sky region,” says Doug Jakobsen, Director of Channel Development at Frontline. “He has become our go-to local expert, a valued referral partner, and a trusted installer for Alpine PM.”
We’re grateful to have Joel, Josh, Gary, and James on the team, helping us secure homes across the Big Sky region with precision and care.
