Automated stovetop suppression is essential given the high statistical density of residential kitchen fires. NFPA and FEMA data from 2017-2021 show an estimated annual average of 158,400 home cooking fires, resulting in 470 deaths, 4,150 injuries, and over $1.15 billion in property damage. The stovetop is the critical risk area: ranges/cooktops were involved in 53% of home cooking fires, yet accounted for a disproportionate 88% of cooking fire deaths and 74% of injuries, indicating a rapid transition to life-threatening events compared to other kitchen appliances. The following points further outlines the impact of cooking fires versus other residential fire causes.
While smoke alarms are vital for notification, they cannot stop a grease fire from escalating into a structure fire. National fire data highlights the severity of the stovetop problem:
Cooking accounts for 44% to 49% of all reported home structure fires in the United States.
Ranges and cooktops are involved in 88% of all cooking fire deaths and 74% of all cooking fire injuries.
Local fire departments respond to an average of 158,400 to 172,900 home cooking fires every single year.
Adults aged 85 and older face a 5.5 times higher risk of dying in a cooking fire compared to the general population.
Unlike old-fashioned fuse technology, FireBot uses smart sensors that process thousands of data points every second to distinguish between intense cooking and a dangerous fire.
The system deploys 1 liter of a non-toxic, biodegradable liquid that smothers flames, cools the surface, and applies a surfactant to prevent dangerous reflashes.
Designed for long-term Community Risk Reduction, the system features a 20-year service life with a single maintenance refresh at the 10-year mark.
A 10-year battery ensures the system remains operational during power outages, with no professional wiring or plumbing required for installation.
Wide-scale deployment of FireBot has the potential to reduce fire department responses to home fires by up to 50%.
By suppressing fires at the source, you keep your crews and apparatus available for high-priority life-safety calls and complex rescues.
Every kitchen fire neutralized by FireBot is one less structure fire that exposes your crew to “hot” responses, occupational hazards, and potential injuries.
The tamper-resistant design ensures continuous protection that does not rely on resident compliance, training, or physical mobility.
FireBot fills the critical gap between detection and commercial-scale suppression, protecting property and reducing long-term costs:
FireBot is engineered to activate before residential sprinkler systems. By using just 1 liter of liquid agent, it prevents the room temperature from reaching the threshold that triggers a massive, corrosive water discharge.
Installation can lead to 5% to 15% savings on property insurance premiums by demonstrating proactive risk management.
Every unit is designed, tested, and assembled domestically to meet the highest professional standards.
