How it works

A scientific scoring model, made operational.

01

Ingest

NOAA HRRR-Smoke, NIFC IRWIN, USFS LANDFIRE, and 12 additional public + commercial data feeds. Refreshed on a fixed 12-hour cadence.

02

Score

A peer-reviewed model computes a 0–100 risk score for each of 900 grid points across CA, OR, and WA — accounting for weather, fuel, terrain, and ignition history.

03

Surface

Scores reach customers through dashboards, alerts, and an API. Time series, exports, and county-level summaries are first-class — not afterthoughts.
