Empowering on-the-road fire crews to make informed decisions to wildfires detected.
Wildfires start earlier and end later than normal fire seasons in many parts of the world. The number of wildfires and their extent are increasing too. However, wildfire crews are neither fully on duty nor sufficient enough to handle wildfires throughout a year!
Below are some common pain points shared by wildfire teams:
- No or insufficient dedicated staff managing wildfire detection.
- Fire crews are overloaded to do both control room wildfire detection and field patrol.
- Wildfire organization leaders are managing many national parks and/or forests. They have to spend significant time traveling between many locations. Information at the fingertips is important for them to make informed
- Rapid responses are required to tackle WUI fires. Emergency responders need timely insights to suppress fires and save lives!
InsightFD is the market leader in early wildfire/forest fire/wildland fire/bushfire detection. Customers on different continents, from country parks in Hong Kong to tropical forest conservations in Indonesia, are using InsightFD to get wildfire ignition alerts. “The robot detects the frame as small as 2 m2. It costs less to suppress the fire when they are small!” Dr. Fernando Aranda of Robotics Galu explained.
Authorized users use Insight Globe, the management platform of InsightFD system, in the control centers or branch/mobile offices to receive, review, and respond to wildfire alerts. “Our customers are busy working in the control center and on the field during the prolonged fire season! They need better tools on the road to fight forest fires!” asserted by Dr. Aranda.
Today, we empower our InsightFD customers to do more with less. They can receive, view, and share fire alerts on their smartphones via Insight Globe Mobile!
