About Frontline Wildfire Defense
Frontline’s mission is to protect homes and lives from wildfire.
Our remotely activated wildfire defense system allows homeowners to evacuate safely and protect their homes. Our network of systems make not just single homes, but communities more wildfire resilient.
The problem we face is not wildfires, but rather wildfire catastrophes that can be avoided or mitigated. This problem is complex due to a convergence of factors – how and where we build, climate change, poor utility infrastructure, excessive fuel build up, and so on.
The societal and economic consequences of wildfire catastrophes are massive and unsustainable: hundreds of lives were lost and over $50 billion in losses over the last five years in California alone. But there is a lot we can do to reduce this risk and protect our communities.
Our team is motivated by these challenges. We’re also committed to giving our customers the tools to protect their families and peace of mind to live in wildfire prone areas.
We hope you’ll join us on this mission!
