Core Competencies

Fire Behavior Modeling

State-of-the-art fire spread, ignition probability, and intensity modeling integrating weather, terrain, and fuel conditions.

Remote Sensing & Detection

Integration of satellite hotspots, IoT sensors, and wildfire camera networks for continuous real-time fire detection.

Probabilistic Risk Assessment

Ensemble modeling that delivers ranges of possible scenarios — from best-case to worst-case — enabling nuanced, risk-aware planning.

Weather & Climate Science

High-resolution WRF-based weather inputs coupled with climate-informed projections for near-term and fire weather assessment.

Geospatial Analytics

Advanced GIS-powered visualization and analysis tools purpose-built for utility asset management and emergency operations.

Scalable Platform Engineering

Microservices-based architecture designed for pilot deployments to statewide and nationwide operational scale.

PyreCast provides near instant access to a multi-view web map, weather, vegetation/fuels, topography, risk analysis, and near-term wildfire spread predictions. It is user-friendly, powerful and at the forefront of technology for decision makers.
