The problem: Every minute matters in fire response. As climate change amplifies the intensity of wildfires-with longer fire seasons, dryer fuels, and faster winds-new ignitions spread faster and put more communities at risk. Today, most wildfires are detected by bystanders and reported via 911, meaning it can take hours to detect a fire, verify its exact location and size, and dispatch first responders. Fire authorities need a faster way to detect, confirm, and pinpoint fires so that they can quickly respond-preventing small flare-ups from becoming devastating infernos.

We are the leader in early wildfire detection and intelligence, helping fire professionals respond to fires faster and more safely-with the right equipment, timely information, and enhanced coordination-so that they can stop a new ignition before it grows.
