Preparing for extreme wildfire risk.

Wildfire season is getting longer and costlier. Signal4D gives utilities, landowners and agencies one proactive view — from the conditions that start fires to the exact assets in their path.

The stakes

Wildfire is a weather-driven risk.

Ignition and spread are driven by a handful of conditions. Watch them together — across your territory and ahead in time — and you can act before a spark becomes a catastrophe.

What Signal4D detects & alerts on

  • Red-flag fire-weather conditions
  • Lightning strikes, in real time
  • Satellite hot spots from NOAA & NASA
  • Compound events — red-flag + lightning + hot-spot

It pinpoints precise impact

  • The specific section of power line at risk
  • The moving assets affected
  • Specific locations, with timing

Example compound alert: a red-flag warning and a lightning strike, followed by satellite hot-spot detection — on a specific power-line segment.

The common operating picture in action

From red-flag warnings to active fires — on one screen.
