Who can take command to protect the community?

Local
Government
City and county leaders have a responsibility to ensure their communities are prepared to face and recover from a wildfire event.
Energy
Utilities
Power utility infrastructure in the wildlands and wildland-urban interface increases the potential impact and scope of fires.
Fire
Districts
Professional fire teams provide the boots on the ground when a potential ignition develops or a wildfire rages.
Land Management
Agencies
The stewards of public land and priceless natural resources need to do their best to prevent major fires in the wildlands.

Understanding the entire wildfire event cycle

Not that long ago, we talked about "fire season", but as wildfires get bigger and more impactful, it's more useful to visualize a yearlong event cycle. There’s always something you can be doing to be proactive about wildfire risk.

Prevention

Data-driven land management strategies and fuel reduction efforts must grow to reflect the true scope of the challenge.

Dry Pines, CA: a wildfire-ready community

For the sake of illustration, let’s imagine the community of Dry Pines, California.

A network of weather stations, sensors, and cameras has been installed throughout the area to build an intelligent wildfire danger rating, monitoring, and detection system that feeds back to a single powerful but easy-to-use intelligence hub.

FTS360-powered intelligence hub

Sitting at a desktop with FTS360, a wildfire risk management professional receives a steady flow of all the data they need to understanding wildfire risk across their community or service area. The simple but powerful intelligence hub includes:

  • 24/7 fire weather intelligence dashboard
  • Access to real-time lightning data from the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network (ENTLN)
  • Automated notifications and alerts for potential fire risks or ignitions
  • Real-time and curated images from the field presorted for easy interpretation
  • Exportable reports to support wildfire response coordination
Wildfire PTZ Camera

These cameras have 360° point-tilt-zoom capabilities and automatically create a detailed, timestamped view of the field, providing a major improvement over traditional fire watch methods.

Compact Automated Weather Station

CAWS stations are deployed throughout the area, creating a hyperlocal profile of real-time weather conditions in the area including temperature, humidity, and wind speed/direction.

Fixed Remote Automated Weather Station

The RAWS is a rugged weather station specifically designed for long-term fire weather monitoring deployments. It only needs to be serviced once per year and provides data continuously.

Lightning Sensor

This sensor is optional because lightning intelligence data backed by a global network is already built into Dry Pines wildfire intelligence hub. Community risk management leaders placed this sensor here to conduct a long-term study of local lightning patterns.
