Field Data
LA Fires Effectiveness Report — January 2025
During the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, Ember Pro tracked outcomes for homes equipped with Frontline Wildfire Defense Systems across affected fire zones. The results represent one of the largest real-world datasets on residential wildfire defense system performance.
Of the two homes lost, neither system was activated during the fire event. Every home with an activated Frontline system survived. The full technical breakdown — including cost-effectiveness analysis ($15K–$40K system vs. $400K–$800K rebuild) and standards compliance data — is available in the complete report.
California Homeowner Wildfire Preparedness Survey
A survey of 500+ California homeowners in wildfire-risk zones — measuring awareness of defensible space regulations, insurance loss rates, willingness to invest in protection, and evacuation preparedness. Original data from the people actually living in harm’s way.
