FireALERT-DC - THE Solution

Continuous monitoring of critical fire-prone environments is required so that when a fire first starts, an alarm is immediately generated. This will allow the fire agencies to respond rapidly, reducing the probability of a small fire growing into a devastating wildfire.

The approach of an established wildfire into a monitored area will generate an alarm that will provide an advanced warning to the community. The extra time that this can provide can make the difference between a community’s orderly evacuation and one where lives are placed at serious risk due to panic.

Placing a FireALERT-DC every square mile allows the monitored area to immediately generate an alarm as soon as a fire develops.
