ReportFires will protect you, your family, and your community from wildfires. No matter you’re running in countryside trails in the morning, working from home in the afternoon, or watching evening TV with the family, ReportFires will alert of nearby wildfires and allow you to take timely action! Wildfire can spread at 6 miles (10km) per hour uphill! Early alerts can help you to get your family in the car and evacuate on time, so every second counts!
If you see a wildfire, you can click the wildfire location on the map in ReportFires and report it. This location will be sent to the Cloud, share with other users nearby, as well as the local authority/wildfire service organization. You will help alert all stakeholders at once and they can react promptly!
No more sleepless nights because you are worried about wildfires ignited by lightning, broken transmission lines, or other human activity! You can put your iPhone on a tripod, connect it to a power supply, point it to the wildfire-prone area, and use ReportFires in Detect mode. It brings you peace of mind.
ReportFires app detects wildfire smoke by analyzing live images captured by the iPhone [1] rear camera. ReportFires uses Core ML APIs to run AI Smoke Detection on iPhone.
ReportFires will detect wildfires and their smoke 24/7, identify their approximate locations and share the information with the ReportFires community. All these are done automatically! You can use your idle to protect you and your neighbors from wildfires!
ReportFires will sound to alert you when it detects wildfire. If you are a registered user and you have a spare iPhone, you can use the spare iPhone to detect wildfire and ReportFires will send to your current iPhone alert of wildfire detected by the spare iPhone. You can protect your cat at home when you’re in the office. More than one house? A registered user can use multiple iPhones to detect wildfire and receive alerts from them.
ReportFires is built on top of InsightFD technologies. InsightFD is the market-leading early wildfire detection solution. InsightFD can detect wildfire at 9 miles (15 km), while ReportFires can detect wildfire as far as 1.5 miles (2.4km) away [2].
Hundreds of InsightFD robots are now protecting national parks, forests, public infrastructure and resorts in Asia, Europe, Central and South America.
We built this app to help you and everyone to mitigate wildfire risks and damages. We will win as a team!
