The Smart Fire Shutoff That Save Lives, Property, and Millions with founder Peter Thorpe

In this episode of AI + Data Mastery, Jason Renno sits down with Peter Thorpe, retired firefighter and founder of FireAvert, the company behind an automatic stove shutoff device designed to prevent kitchen fires before they start. FireAvert works by detecting the sound pattern of a smoke alarm and automatically shutting off the stove, helping stop the most common type of home fire before ignition. The company now serves homes, families, and multifamily properties, and is expanding into connected monitoring, risk scoring, and broader fire-prevention applications.
