/FireFinder

Every year, hundreds of wildfires wreck havoc on BC’s forests, rural cities, and the families that call them home. Firefighters answer the call year after year, but sometimes that simply is not enough. Some locations are too remote, making it hard for responders to reach the fire, or those living nearby. FireFinder provides a tool for both first responders and civilians, allowing them to quickly respond accordingly. Drone technology, proven in agricultural applications can use FireFinder’s ability to locate wildfires to quickly reach fires in remote, hard to reach locations and address fires before they become destructive. Furthermore, residents living in BC's Interior or forests can monitor the map for updates and automatically notify emergency services of their evacuation through our website. Forest fires and drones can both be monitored through interactive maps and live feeds. FireFinder also offers a subscription and alert service, periodically sending residents informative newsletters as well as emergency alerts when certain regions are threatened by wildfires.
