Artificial intelligence detects smoke from existing cameras and alerts faster to emergency responders.
FireScout technology utilizes cloud-based machine vision AI to detect wildfires 24/7, in realtime, often before first responders receive 911 calls. Governments and utilities use FireScout today through ALERTWildfire’s 1,000+ camera network located throughout the Western United States.
For Cities, Counties and States
FireScout arms first responders with the information needed to rapidly detect, confirm and monitor wildfires, enabling them to protect people and property – and themselves.
For Utilities
Utilities gain the actionable intelligence they need to protect infrastructure assets, optimize response strategies, mitigate risk and keep the power on for their ratepayers.
Protecting People and Property Today
FireScout provides the best performance in wildfire technology available today. Unlike other solutions, FireScout offers real-time wildfire detection, the most cost-efficient technology available, the most deployments of any AI wildfire technology, the strongest interface with users and the most accumulated user experience.

Last summer, PG&E initiated a collaboration with FireScout through which FireScout AI monitored 46 ALERTWildfire cameras, designed to protect PG&E electrical transmission assets. Here, a FireScout-equipped camera detected smoke one minute before fire dispatch and several minutes sooner than manual movement of the camera by first responders. It had spotted the fire very early and demonstrated the value of early fire detection technology.

On February 7th & 8th of 2022, Miami Beach hosted the Natural Disasters Expo. During this expo, thousands of visitors ascended to the Miami Beach Convention Center to see the future in catastrophic event mitigation and relief. More than 300 disaster response and prevention vendors along with industry leaders from NOAA, NASA, FEMA, and more were in attendance. Occurring over a two-day period the conference focuses on four main categories: earthquakes, heat & fire, flooding, and storms.
Florida as a whole and especially Miami experiences numerous natural disasters mostly hurricanes and flooding which made this region the ideal location to host this event.
Fox weather caught up with keynote speaker and Science and Operations officer at the National Hurricane Center, Christopher “Chris” William Landsea. Chris spoke about the progress of Hurricane and storm tracking. Strides in detection have increased range and the accuracy of tracking a storm and other inclement weather events. Chris spoke on the evolution of forecasting and how we have reduced reporting errors exponentially compared to where we were a generation ago. Fox Weather correspondent Steve Bender also spotlighted some notable tech like rainwater harvesting machines and solar-powered refrigeration units.
Watts was on hand and displaying their RainCycler, the portable rainwater harvesting unit that you can use to retrofit your home. The RainCycler allows you to collect rainwater and purifies it for personnel use and consumption. Another exhibitor was on hand with solar-powered refrigeration units that are essential in the absence of power during a crisis.
