## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2012, Fire Friends, LLC, trading under the name Frontline Wildfire Defense, operates as a developer of defense systems that protect homes, families, and communities from wildfire disasters. The company was founded by its CEO, Harry Statter. In October 2025, Frontline Wildfire Defense raised USD 48 million in series A funding led by new investor Norwest Venture Partners.

The company offers a remote-based fire department that protects homes, families, and communities from wildfire disasters. With Frontline's exterior sprinkler solution, homeowners can prepare for wildfires, monitor fires near their property, and protect their homes during a wildfire incident. As of 2023, the firm unveiled the next iteration of its proprietary fire defense solution, Frontline Defense System 2 which combines wildfire tracking software, satellite communication, and onsite sprinkler hardware to protect any building from wildfire.

The organization plans to use the October 2025 funding to expand its wildfire protection systems by installing more sprinklers and improving technology to keep homes and businesses safe.
