Sonic Fire Tech

Founded in 2019 in Ohio, US, by CEO Geoff Bruder and COO Remington Bixby Hotchkis, Incaendium Initiative Corporation d. b. a. Sonic Fire Tech develops advanced fire suppression systems.

Sonic Fire Tech specializes in advanced acoustic fire suppression technology designed to protect residential properties from wildfires. Their flagship product, the Sonic Ember Shield, operates by deploying from the attic through concealed ducting in the rain gutters, forming a protective non-ignition zone that prevents embers from igniting flames. This system utilizes patented infrasound technology developed by former NASA acoustics engineers, ensuring silent operation without the need for water or chemicals, which eliminates collateral damage and false alarms. Targeting homeowners in high-risk wildfire areas, Sonic Fire Tech's solutions are particularly relevant in regions such as California, Colorado, and other states prone to wildfires.

The company services both residential clients and commercial infrastructure teams, aiming to safeguard lives and property in an era of increasing fire risk. Sonic Fire Tech generates revenue through direct sales of its patented fire suppression systems, primarily the Sonic Ember Shield, to homeowners and commercial entities. The business model includes one-time purchases for installation, as well as potential subscription services for ongoing maintenance and monitoring of the systems. The company positions its product within the market of wildfire mitigation solutions, appealing to both individual homeowners and larger organizations, including utilities and public safety departments.

Pricing structures for the systems reflect their advanced technology, with costs associated with installation and customization based on the specific needs of the client’s property. The company has garnered interest from insurers, suggesting potential partnerships that may offer premium reductions for property owners who implement their technology, thereby enhancing market value and safety for properties in wildfire-prone areas. The company also plans to add employees and increase manufacturing capacity for residential, commercial and kitchen-focused deployments.
