Stop the Number 1 Cause of Residential Fires Before Your Crew Rolls
Kitchen fires are the leading cause of residential structure fires, but traditional safety education relies on human behavior that often fails under pressure. FireBot provides a proactive engineering solution that neutralizes the threat at the source, allowing your department to “get ahead of the call”.
The Macro-Economic Burden of Residential Cooking Fires
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:
Leading Fire Cause
Cooking accounts for 44% to 49% of all reported home structure fires in the United States.
The Deadly Cooktop
Ranges and cooktops are involved in 88% of all cooking fire deaths and 74% of all cooking fire injuries.
Response Load
Local fire departments respond to an average of 158,400 to 172,900 home cooking fires every single year.
Professional Engineering: The UL-300A Standard
FireBot is the only residential stovetop system in its category to achieve the UL 300A certification. This is the “gold standard” for fire suppression, ensuring the device can detect, extinguish, and prevent the reignition of high-temperature grease fires.
Strategic Asset Protection: Eliminating Secondary Damage
FireBot fills the critical gap between detection and commercial-scale suppression, protecting property and reducing long-term costs:

Total Suppression
FireBot uses non-toxic powder to snuff out fires instantly, significantly reducing smoke and fire spread. This clean method makes post-fire recovery faster and cheaper, eliminating the extensive water damage caused by traditional sprinklers.
Economic Loss
$4.2B
Insurance Premium Mitigation
Installation can lead to 5% to 15% savings on property insurance premiums by demonstrating proactive risk management.
Made in the USA Built To Last
Every unit is designed, tested, and assembled domestically to meet the highest professional standards.
Sprinkler Cost Avoidance
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.
