The system installs spray nozzles on roofs and other key areas around the property; when Frontline’s app detects a nearby fire, they release water for 20 minutes per hour that’s then supplemented with Class A firefighting foam, creating a perimeter of protection around the house. The service is now available in 12 Western U.S. states and has been installed on roughly 2,000 homes. “People are realizing they have to take matters into their own hands,” says CEO Harry Statter.
