Los Gatos resident takes extra steps to protect hillside home from wildfires
Briefly

Dave Ginsburg's home near Los Gatos is equipped with the Frontline Wildfire Defense system, which activates when fires are nearby. This system includes an external sprinkler setup that utilizes water and biodegradable foam to prevent burning. Inspired by the dangers of wildfires, Ginsburg opted for this system after witnessing the destruction peers faced during previous fires. The house features 35 hidden nozzles, significant water storage, and an auxiliary water supply line connected to a pool, all intended for enhanced fire safety.
Ginsburg's home was constructed to implement the Frontline Wildfire Defense system, using fire tracking software to activate external sprinklers automatically when a fire is within seven miles.
According to NBC Bay Area, 59 of 61 houses with Frontline Wildfire Defense were saved in the Palisades Fire, demonstrating the effectiveness of this fire protection system.
