Track weather and fire along your grid.

See your transmission and distribution lines, substations, generation sites and service territories alongside weather, wildfire detections and your own sensor readings. Alert on any one source, or combine weather and equipment conditions to identify the sections that need attention.

What you get

What your team can monitor.

Supports your obligations around wildfire liability, infrastructure risk monitoring, and worker safety — with real-time awareness, defensible decision support, and historical auditability.

  • Fire weather along every corridor — wind and gusts, low humidity, red-flag warnings, lightning, satellite hot spots, and active fire perimeters near your lines
  • Alerts on the exact line segments at risk — two-tier Watch and Warning alerts built on thresholds your team sets
  • Add your own lines, towers, and zones to the map, then set up alerts to reflect the assets you actually operate
  • Pre-position crews and shorten outage duration
  • Real-time location of personnel, vehicles and response assets across large territories
  • Single-source or multi-condition alerts combining weather with line sensors and other operational data
  • Example: gusts above 30 knots AND a sudden drop in tension from dynamic line rating sensors
  • Example: a lightning strike AND smart line sensors triggering

Coming soon: historical data for audit trails and segment-level risk ranking.

Who it's for

Transmission operations

See which line segments are under threat and when, and act before conditions reach the grid.

Wildfire mitigation

Track fire weather, red-flag warnings, lightning, and active fires along every corridor, with Watch and Warning alerts on the segments at risk.

Vegetation management

Focus crews and inspections on the corridors facing the highest fire-weather risk.

Fire-risk alerts come in two tiers, each set by your team and tied to the exact line segments affected. A Watch flags early fire weather — for example, humidity below 30% with gusts of 15 mph or more. A Warning flags critical conditions — humidity below 15% with gusts of 25 mph or more.

Common questions

Questions from energy & utilities teams.

How do utilities monitor wildfire risk to the power grid?
Utilities monitor wildfire risk by watching for the conditions that precede ignition near their assets: red-flag fire weather, lightning strikes, and satellite-detected hot spots. Signal4D fuses all three with a model of the grid itself — transmission and distribution lines, substations, and service territories — and pinpoints the specific line segment at risk, so crews can inspect, pre-position, or de-energize before an event becomes a fire.
How does weather intelligence reduce outage duration?
Weather intelligence shortens outages by moving work ahead of the event: identifying vulnerable grid segments before the storm arrives, prioritizing inspections, and pre-positioning crews where impact is forecast. During the event, Signal4D tracks evolving threats and the real-time location of crews and vehicles across the territory, so restoration starts sooner and is dispatched to the right place.
Can Signal4D support wildfire-liability and compliance obligations?
Yes. Signal4D supports obligations around wildfire liability, infrastructure risk monitoring, and worker safety with real-time awareness, defensible decision support, and historical auditability of the conditions and alerts around an event.
