FireArc builds the aerial exposure picture many wildfire plans are still missing: the 10-15km zone around a town, mapped and explained.
This isn't a knock on the mitigation work already underway. FireSmart assessments and CWPPs get the fundamentals right, and most already map close to home. What's usually missing is the picture further out, the 10 to 15km ring where an approaching fire actually starts, moves, and picks its direction, mapped in detail instead of left as background.
Fuel management, home hardening, and infrastructure protection all compete for the same limited budget. FireArc gives that competition a shared, verified picture to sequence against, turning reconnaissance into one plan a community can actually act on.
Land that sat outside the wildland urban interface a decade ago often sits inside it today. Fuel stays dry for more of the year, and fire seasons run longer than they used to. A risk picture built once and filed away goes stale fast. Vigilance isn't a project with an end date. It's the ongoing work of knowing where the risk actually is, then checking that picture again as conditions change.
The entry point into the aerial picture — a community's exposure grid, mapped, explained, and walked through live with the people who'll act on it.
