Frontline enables customers to track wildfires, receive important alerts, and safely navigate a wildfire, while protecting a customer’s home with the remotely operated Frontline Wildfire Defense System. With multiple levels of redundancy, our system hydrates the materials of a home and its surrounding area to prevent ignition from flying embers - the #1 cause of structure loss during wildfire.

We are a small team in the early stages of growth, and yet we have already made significant contributions to protecting homes as well as earning revenue by successfully installing systems throughout Northern and Southern California. We have an experienced team of engineers, product designers, and investors and we are poised to grow rapidly.
