Problem
Wildfires pose a significant threat to residential properties, especially in high-risk areas where traditional fire suppression systems are impractical due to their size, cost, and reliance on external water and power sources. These limitations leave many homes vulnerable to contact ignition from direct flames and ember ignition in hotspots.
Solution
FACE (Fire Activated Canister Extinguisher) offers a fully autonomous fire suppression system designed for residential perimeter defense. The system utilizes a heat-sensitive chemical element to automatically detect fires without the need for external connections to water or power. Upon activation at 155°F, the device disperses a non-toxic, biodegradable fire retardant, ColdFire, over a 200-square-foot zone with 360-degree coverage, protecting against contact ignition by direct flames. FACE devices can be placed independently in ember ignition hotspots to quickly suppress fires before they grow or strategically positioned around properties to create extended fire-suppressing boundaries.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes homeowners in high-wildfire-risk areas seeking an affordable, compact, and autonomous fire defense solution.
