How the Frontline wildfire
sprinkler system works.
The Frontline Wildfire Defense System combats the threat to your home from ember ignition. Our system is designed to be turned on well ahead of fire showing up at your doorstep. Embers can travel for miles and may pose a threat to your home long before the perimeter of a wildfire is visible. By running your Frontline system early, you allow your property to become fully hydrated so embers are unable to cause a fire if they land on your property.
Exterior fire sprinkler coverage for your entire home.
Custom-designed for powerful ember defense.
Every Frontline system starts with a custom design, based on your home’s unique needs. We carefully layout exterior sprinkler placements to ensure complete hydration coverage of home ignition zone 0 and 1 (HIZ0 & HIZ1). These zones account for the structure of your home and 30 feet of property surrounding your home. By combining eave sprinklers, roof sprinklers, and perimeter sprinklers, each system is designed to be able to deliver enough water in a 24 hour period to create an environment that is too wet to burn.

Fire fighting foam makes wildfire sprinklers more effective.
Class A foam is 5x more effective than water alone.
The Frontline system distributes a class A, fire-fighting foam that breaks down water surface tension and allows water to be absorbed more quickly and more deeply by combustible items on your home and property. Our foam is approved by the U.S. Forest Service and is used every day by firefighters. The foam is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic, and easily washes away after being applied during a fire.
Exterior roof sprinklers are installed to blend into your property.
Discreet installation.
The Frontline external fire sprinkler system is installed on roof ridges and under-covered areas to maximize protection while minimizing distractions. Frontline crews install every system and we take extreme care to respect the aesthetic of your home. The system is concealed within the architecture of your home and can even be painted to blend in.

The brains of the Frontline system.
At the center of every Frontline system is the Frontline controller. This small box provides powerful connectivity. It allows Frontline to monitor your system remotely and provide remote service and support. Most importantly, this device allows for complete remote operation of the Frontline system, so you can evacuate with the peace of mind that your home is being defended.

Installing a home fire sprinkler system like Frontline is viewed favorably during an insurance underwriting assessment. This can make it easier to secure a policy from a preferred provider—and your carrier may even offer credits or discounts for installing the system.

Please note, that the Frontline system will not turn on automatically during a wildfire. It is up to the homeowner to activate their system.
We recommend activating when the first evacuation notice is given or when smoke and embers are within a few miles. The system provides proactive hydration and is not meant to be a fire extinguisher. For the system to work effectively it is essential to activate it well before embers arrive at your property to ensure you can hydrate the exterior of your property.
Wildfires are complex and unpredictable. No amount of care, planning or prevention hardware will fully eliminate the risk of damage or loss from wildfire. The system is designed only to mitigate the risk of damage from ember ignition during a wildfire.
No. Defensible space should be cleared first. The Frontline system, defensible space, fire-resistant building materials, and community preparedness programs are complementary solutions to mitigate risk and should be implemented in combination for the greatest efficacy.
Ask your broker whether a discount is available. If applying for a new policy, you may include the system in your application. Certain carriers give credit for installing these systems in their risk and underwriting assessment.
The system can connect to municipal, well, and/or pool water sources. Unlike interior fire sprinklers, the system is dry until activated, meaning the pipes do not hold water when the system is off.
The Frontline controller needs electricity to receive the remote activation signal from the Frontline app. The controller has a built-in battery backup that will be used if the power is out. If power is present the controller will use electricity from your home. If pool or well water is being used, a dedicated pool pump with backup power source (such as a generator or home battery) is required.
The system will run for 5 to 7 minutes per zone (if multiple zones have been installed on your home). It will then turn off for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes it will cycle through all zones again. As long as the system has access to a water source, it will run like this until it is deactivated.
The Class A firefighting foam is formulated to make water more effective for preventing fire. Surfactants significantly reduces water’s surface tension and, when mixed with air it surrounds fuel with a thick layer of water. This creates a barrier between the fuel and the fire making the water more effective reducing the amount of water needed to protect your home.
Frontline uses Class A foam that has been tested by the US Forest Service. It contains NO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, is non-corrosive, non-toxic, readily biodegradable, and has no flashpoint. The class A foam has no chemicals listed on California’s Proposition 65 list of hazardous materials.
The system is custom designed for your home. Sprinklers are installed on the roof and under eaves and covered areas. The system will saturate the home and up to 30 feet from the exterior wall of your home.
Wind can impact the sprinkler coverage. To account for this we install our systems with more than 100% overlap in coverage between each sprinkler head. However, winds are unpredictable and can stop or change direction quickly which may impact system performance.
