System Capabilities

1

Interactive Fire Weather & Ignition Risk

PyreCast integrates fire weather forecasts with utility assets and infrastructure to quantify near-term ignition risk at the asset level. The platform models billions of potential ignitions and their associated fire spread impacts each day.

2

Active Fire Situational Awareness

Real-time fire detections, satellite hotspots, and wildfire camera networks. For validated ignitions, PyreCast generates short-term (24-hour) and extended (7-day) fire spread forecasts to support situational awareness and resource coordination.

3

Match Drop: Hypothetical Ignition Scenarios

Interactively place hypothetical ignitions on the map to evaluate potential fire spread and impacts under forecasted weather conditions. Supports contingency planning, vulnerability analysis, and stress-testing of mitigation strategies.

4

Actionable Intelligence for PSPS & Operations

Precise, location-specific insights for defensible operational decisions. Fire risk forecasts updated up to four times per day with interactive map-based workflows for grid prioritization, public safety notifications, and responder coordination.
