A New Look to Fire Prevention: How A Local Man is Knocking Out Flames with Sound

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – What if there were a way to put out fire without water, foam, or any other substance? What if it could be done with sound?

While the concept may seem too good to be true, it has been shown to work in a controlled setting.

Now, a new company, lead by a local man fueling it's growth, is refining ways to knock out flames and embers before they can grow – helping protect homes and infrastructure from fire.

"We're on a mission to create a paradigm shift in the fire suppression industry," said Sonic Fire Tech Head of Business Development and Santa Barbara County resident, Remington Hotchkis.

"It sounds like magic," Sonic Fire Tech co-founder and CEO, Geoff Bruder said. "It's just physics."
