Innohome Stove Guard: Fire Safety for Independent Living
Protect Your Loved Ones from Kitchen Fires
In the United States, cooking is the leading cause of home fires, accounting for 44% of all reported home fires and 42% of home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the number one factor. Older adults are especially at risk—people aged 65+ are 2.5 times more likely to die in a fire than the general population, and that risk increases with age.
The Innohome Stove Guard offers a smart, proactive solution to keep your loved ones safe. It requires no user action, making it ideal for seniors, individuals with memory challenges, and anyone living independently.
More Than a Smoke Alarm or Timer
Smoke alarms alert you after a fire starts—but they don’t prevent it. Timers can’t stop sudden oil fires and require user interaction, which can be difficult for someone with memory issues.
The Innohome Stove Guard goes further:
- Prevents fires before they start by cutting power to the range when danger is detected.
- Works even if no one is home or if the resident cannot respond to the alarm.
- Protects against accidental activation by residents or pets.
Smart Technology for Safer Homes
Our intelligent sensor technology detects overheating and reacts instantly—stopping a fire before it ignites. This makes the Stove Guard an excellent safeguard for households with pets and for seniors who want to maintain independence without compromising safety.
Why Seniors Need Extra Protection
Seniors living at home face higher fire risks compared to those in assisted living facilities, where sprinklers and staff provide extra protection. With the right safety devices, seniors can live also safely at home for longer.
Unlike sprinklers, the Stove Guard reacts faster and avoids costly water damage . It also works seamlessly alongside sprinkler systems by reducing unnecessary alarms, which helps prevent accidental sprinkler activation. Innohome Stove Guard is a simple, affordable way to add peace of mind for families, and also for property owners.

Kitchen safety for Everyone
Anyone can forget, but statistics show that older adults and those with memory disorders are at greater risk. In Finland, there are about 193,000 people with memory disorders, and 14,500 new cases are diagnosed annually.
Fire service data shows that in 2018, 59% of fire victims had functional limitations, and in 31% of cases, age-related impairments hindered escape. A quarter of these individuals had a recorded memory disorder. Seniors are more prone to get injured in fires, and injuries can also prevent firefighting and evacuation—even if the fire is noticed.
The Innohome Stove Guard provides peace of mind for families and independence for seniors.
