Wildfire protection for new home communities
The future of homebuilding is fire-ready..
Community-scale wildfire resilience.
As wildfire risks rise, land once deemed high-value is now considered high-risk and the homebuilding industry is working to adapt to the realities of a changing climate. By combining cutting-edge technology and creative insurance solutions, it’s possible to protect your communities, maintain affordability, and ensure homes remain insurable.
Frontline’s wildfire defense system offers an innovative path forward, enabling homebuilders to continue developing in wildfire-prone areas with confidence. Our external wildfire sprinkler system reduces fire risk, helps avoid costly project delays, and provides your future homebuyers with peace of mind.
It is possible to build communities that are safe, resilient, and future-proof in the face of increasing wildfire threats – because safety shouldn’t come at the cost of progress.
Woodside’s hot new community is fire-ready.
A case study in building a “post-climate change” community that is affordable, insurable, and in-demand.
As wildfire risks loomed over the Wayfare Station development in Santa Clarita, CA, Woodside Homes faced soaring insurance costs and a stalled project. By integrating Frontline’s wildfire defense system, they reduced fire risk, secured affordable insurance, and got the project back on track. This community is not only fire-resilient but is also in demand with homebuyers.
Wildfire protection for multi-family communities
Multi-family solution
Densely built, multi-family communities offer efficient land use, lower infrastructure costs, and housing affordability, creating vibrant, sustainable neighborhoods with a strong sense of community and safety.
Wildfire risk in these communities demands specific attention. High structure density means that if one building ignites, the fire can rapidly spread, endangering the entire development.
Frontline’s solution dissolves property boundaries, protecting the entire community. This approach keeps installation costs low, with a single system safeguarding many homes. It also optimizes water use and allows for coordinated community defense at an HOA or property management level.
Wildfire protection for single-family communities
Single-family solution
Single-family home communities offer more privacy, space, and a quieter suburban lifestyle for homeowners while still providing controlled growth, green spaces, and less strain on local infrastructure.
However, these communities are often relatively dense, with each home less than 50 feet from neighboring homes. This makes radiant heat exposure a significant risk – if a single home ignites during a wildfire, every home could be lost.
Frontline’s solution for single-family homes installs one system per property, which can either be controlled by the homeowner directly or managed at a fleet level through the Frontline dashboard. This connected community approach enables coordinated defense and smart water management, while still allowing homeowners the autonomy to decide when their system activates.

Seamless wildfire protection for new communities
The most powerful protection you’ve never seen.
Incorporated during the construction of new communities, the Frontline Wildfire Defense system is virtually unseen. Piping is concealed within the roof and walls, and sprinkler heads are tucked beneath eaves and placed on rooftops, out of sight. It’s powerful wildfire defense for new home communities, hiding in plain sight.
