About
Frontline
Providing peace of mind by empowering communities to live in harmony with nature’s process.
Developed in 2017 by an expert group of firefighters, technologists, and landscape ecologists.
Years of research.
Frontline has revolutionized wildfire defense with years of research and innovation. Starting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, our founders leveraged their background in landscape ecology and forestry to move beyond basic home hardening and defensible space, developing our patented wildfire defense system.
Our efforts now span the western U.S., anchored by our headquarters in Jackson Hole and expanded through field offices in California, Colorado, and Washington. Frontline Wildfire Defense™ is built on a foundation of trust and integrity, committed to protecting the communities we serve with practical, effective solutions.
Our history.
Harry Statter founded Frontline with two goals in mind. The first was to save lives and property, and the second was to protect the integrity of natural processes.
1995
Harry began studying the environment while attending the University of Michigan. He received a BS in landscape ecology, which combines landscape architecture with forestry and applied ecology with the goal of blending the built environment with natural process.
2001
Harry turned his attention to wildfire, where through a start-up company named Firewise Landscapes Inc, he focused on creating safe residential home sites in wildfire-prone areas. Firewise Landscapes managed ~50,000 acres of private forest land throughout the Rocky Mountain Region.
2010
Harry started to question exactly why homes burned during a wildfire, and he began to search for real data to support the answer. What is commonly known now, but was not known then, is burning embers land many miles outside of a wildfire and are the primary cause of structure loss.
2012
Harry filed his initial patent work and began assembling an expert group of firefighters, engineers, and designers to develop the concept into a commercial product capable of saving lives, homes, and businesses.
2018
Frontline installed the first wildfire sprinkler system in Jackson, WY.
2019
Frontline expanded to California, to help homeowners protect their homes during one of the worst fire seasons in California’s history.
2021
Frontline overhauled the Frontline App, providing the ability for anyone to prepare for fire season and monitor California wildfires in near-realtime.
2022 and beyond…
Frontline is currently focused on expanding its presence in California and entering new states under the growing threat of wildfire.
Our Mission.
Frontline’s mission is to protect homes, families, and communities from wildfire disaster. Almost all plant communities in the United States have a natural fire cycle within them, and Frontline is focused on providing the tools necessary to live with fire. The wider adoption of Frontline’s hardware and software platform not only protects our homes and families, but allows us to live with wildfire as a necessary natural process.
