On October 28, 2025, Frontline Wildfire Defense, the leading wildfire defense solution for homes, businesses, and communities, announced it has closed a $48 million Series A round led by Norwest to scale its proven wildfire defense systems across fire-prone states. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Frontline Wildfire Defense on the transaction.

The funding, which was a mix of primary and secondary capital, comes as wildfire risks reach unprecedented levels, with U.S. wildfires burning 8.9 million acres in 2024, more than triple the 2023 total, and recent Los Angeles fires destroying roughly 16,000 structures, while insurance markets face crisis-level disruptions.
