Commercial
Defense System

Open Perimeters

Let’s explore just how Frontline’s Commercial Defense Systems actually work. Designed for large and complex properties (by firefighters, technologists, and ecologists) to deliver automated, 24-7 protection by soaking the building and its surroundings in a combination of water and firefighting foam. This helps stop embers before they set your structure ablaze. We call it proactive hydration, and it works.

Frontline’s software lets you remotely activate your facility’s exterior sprinklers, keeping your staff safe while actively defending your property. Every system comes with battery backup power as well as WiFi, cellular, and satellite connectivity so you can help defend your business during wildfire conditions.

Combined, the burn areas and Secondary Fire Areas (SFAs) affected over 6,800 businesses and more than 47,000 workers.

Businesses in the burn areas generated $1.4 billion annually prior to the fires; those in SFAs accounted for $6.8 billion in annual revenue.

Between 28,000 and 55,000 job-years
are expected to be impacted.

Labor income losses are
estimated at $2.2 to $4.2 billion.

The devastating fires in the greater LA area were a critical test for wildfire prevention companies like Frontline.
61 Frontline systems were activated to protect homes in some of the hardest-hit areas. See how our systems
performed and how effective our wildfire prevention solutions can be.

QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS.

Can the system be activated if we’ve already evacuated?

Yes. Remote activation is a core feature. The system can be operated via the Frontline app from anywhere.

My building has an internal sprinkler system. Why do I need this?

Interior sprinklers are designed for fires that start inside your building. By the time embers have breached your building and triggered your suppression system, ignition has already occurred. You’re no longer preventing a fire, you’re fighting one. 

What types of facilities do you protect?

Current applications include warehouses and distribution centers, data centers, manufacturing facilities, medical centers and healthcare campuses, commercial office and retail properties, wineries and agricultural estates, and private schools and camps. 

How is this commercial system different from a standard exterior sprinkler?

This is a purpose-built commercial wildfire defense system, using multi-zone architecture with coverage specifically engineered around commercial ignition behavior: rooflines, eave and facade transitions, and perimeters. 

Can you guarantee the building won’t be burned?

We cannot make that claim. However, the system dramatically reduces ignition risk and significantly increases the survivability of your facility. Remember, 96% of Frontline-protected buildings survived the 2025 LA fires.

*Past Results Are Not a Predictor of Future Performance. Based on 2025 Los Angeles wildfire outcomes: 59 of 61 Frontline-protected homes remained intact, though some experienced minor damage. Not all homes were within the official burn perimeter but were in areas at risk from ember exposure or active wildfire conditions. Results may vary. System performance depends on site conditions, maintenance, water availability, power, and network connectivity. Wildfires are inherently unpredictable and dangerous. Use of the Frontline Wildfire Defense System is not a guarantee against loss of life or property from a wildfire.
