Fire detection & alerts
Active-fire detection from thermal-anomaly sensors with burn-scar mapping after the event — alerting and assessment for landscapes too large to patrol.
- Sensor-based alerts
- Burn-scar mapping
- Works at landscape scale
Benefits
What fire detection & alerts unlocks
Short-term optimization
- Know about fires without waiting for reports
- Direct response using location and spread context
- Map affected area as soon as smoke clears
Long-term impact
- Fire-regime history per landscape
- Risk-zone mapping from recurrence patterns
- Compensation and recovery evidence trails
Approach & methodology
How the analytics work
We are transparent about data sources, models, and limits — so you can trust what you act on.
- Data sources
- Thermal-anomaly satellite sensors for detection; optical imagery for burn-scar assessment.
- Approach
- Anomaly filtering to reduce false positives; post-event differenced burn indices for extent.
- Update cadence
- Multiple detection passes daily; assessment after the event.
- Limitations
- Small or brief fires can fall between passes; smoke and cloud delay optical assessment.
Deliverables
Expected outputs
- GIS-ready data layers (GeoJSON / KML / SHP / GeoTIFF)
- Decision-ready PDF report with interpretation
