By Almost Any Available Metric Wildfires Are Becoming an Increasing Threat in the United States Every Year--number of Fires Number of Acres Burned Size of Fires Value of Property Destroyed and Number of Lives Lost. One Factor That Exacerbates the Impact of Wildfires Is Many of Them Are Occurring at the Wildland-urban Interface (WUI) the Zone of Transition Where Human Development Encroaches on Unoccupied Land. as Human Development Continues to Sprawl an Increasing Number of Structures and Lives Are at Risk. Early Detection of Wildfires and Accurate Determination of Where Fires Are and Where They Go Is Essential for Effective Firefighting and Public Safety. as Other Factors Like Climate Change Drought and Extreme Weather Appear to Become More Pronounced the Frequency and Severity of Wildfires Will Continue to Get Worse.the Geofire Was Uses Heat to Track and Predict Wildfires in Real-time Without False Alarms. Rugged Ground-based Sensors Are Deployed at High Density Enabling Wildfires to Be Detected and Reported Quickly Within the Coverage Area. the Fire Location Is Known With Hyper Precision Down to the Resolution of the Sensor Spacing Which Is Critical to Recognizing Adjacent Fire Cells as Two Separate Cells and Not One. the Inherent Resiliency of the Self-healing Sensor Network Ensures Effective Coverage Is Maintained Even With the Failure of an Individual Sensor. No Other Ground- or Satellite-based Wildfire Detection System Has This Combination of Spatial Resolution Response Time Accuracy and Fault Tolerance.when Deployed in Target Areas Such as Residential Neighborhoods at the Wildland Urban Interface Industrial and Commercial Campuses or High-voltage Power Lines the Geofire Wasdelivers Community and Asset Protection at an Unprecedented Scale Which Allows Government and Commercial Stakeholders to Make Timely and Effective Decisions About Wildfire Mitigation Efforts to Prevent Property Loss and Loss of Life.
