Founded in 2017 by landscape ecologist and fire-mitigation expert Harry Statter, Frontline Wildfire Defense offers the first fully integrated wildfire defense solution that combines exterior sprinklers, full-coverage design services, and connected software for remote monitoring and response. Its system deploys water and Class-A foam to guard against ember ignition—the leading cause of structure loss during wildfires—and continues operating during infrastructure failures thanks to backup batteries, satellite connectivity, and water-intelligence features. Homeowners can activate the system remotely, allowing safe evacuation. The company also provides a free mobile app that delivers wildfire safety information and evacuation alerts. Frontline’s technology demonstrated a 96 % home-survival rate when 61 protected houses were exposed to the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. Strategic partnerships with builders and architects such as Burdge Architects, Sekisui House U.S., and Thomas James Homes are expanding its footprint across California, Colorado, and Texas. Recognized as a TIME 2025 Best Invention and winner of multiple building-industry awards, the firm is using new capital to scale installations to thousands more at-risk structures.
