PYRE™ Wildfire Monitoring System · Patent Pending

Wildfire intelligence. Built for when everything else fails.

PYRE™ is a solar-powered, satellite-connected sensor node that watches your property for fire conditions 24/7 — and alerts your phone directly, anywhere in the world.

The Problem

Every alert system assumes the infrastructure survives. It doesn't.

A fire starts at 2 a.m. in a small mountain community — one road in, one road out. The cell tower goes down with the power. Your phone never rings. That's not a hypothetical. That's Cañada de los Alamos, New Mexico — and hundreds of communities like it across the West.

What's Missing

No product lets a homeowner buy it, install it, and get alerts after the grid goes dark.

  • ✕Agency camera networks — $50K+/year, agency-only, blind to canyons
  • ✕Pro-installed home systems — $5,000+, professional install, cell-dependent
  • ✕Smart home security — indoor only, WiFi required, no wildfire sensing
  • ✕Consumer air sensors — WiFi only, no alerting, fail exactly when fires hit
  • ✕Agency IoT sensors — deployed by governments, not purchasable by homeowners

PYRE™ fills that gap.

The only consumer-priced, satellite-independent outdoor property hazard monitor designed for remote WUI homeowners.

ALERTS WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS DOWN
The PYRE™ Node

Six fire signatures. Under-canopy telemetry.

Low-altitude node clusters capture the early thermal and chemical changes that define an ignition event before visible fires breakout.

PM2.5
Smoke concentration
Monitors fine airborne particulates resulting from initial organic combustion.
CO / VOC
Combustion gas profile
Identifies chemical gas anomalies unique to brush and structural fuel source fire ignition.
ANEMOMETER
Micro-wind velocity
Tracks immediate local velocity variables that drive erratic wildfire advance rates.
WIND VANE
Vector trajectory
Logs wind direction shifts crucial for fire-path modeling.
THERMOMETER
Thermal spikes
Registers immediate air temperature spikes within localized grid vectors.
HYGROMETER
Fuel dryness trends
Evaluates atmospheric relative humidity thresholds indicative of extreme fuel drying.

How It Works

It watches. It thinks. It communicates. It alerts.

Watches

Monitors all six fire signatures continuously — no gaps, no downtime.

Thinks

AI-assisted threshold logic distinguishes genuine danger from morning fog, and infers conditions beyond detection range. Multiple nodes triangulate a fire's bearing and speed.

Communicates

Nodes relay over a LoRa mesh to a gateway, which transmits via Iridium satellite — no ground infrastructure required.

Alerts

A direct notification reaches your phone, with an encrypted interval camera snapshot so you can see exactly what's happening.

Deployment

Four corners. Full coverage.

One node per corner covers roughly ten acres each — and the more nodes in a community, the smarter every alert gets.

Hardware under $500 per node. Simple monthly subscription covers satellite data, cloud AI, and alerting — with an insurance-partnership model designed so homeowners pay nothing ongoing.

The Platform

One mesh. Two missions.

The same node, satellite, and gateway architecture protects homes today — and grows into a unified wildfire data layer.

Now

PYRE™ Property Node

Direct-to-homeowner wildfire condition monitoring and satellite alerting for remote WUI properties.

Next

Agency Communication Platform

A unified operational picture for incident commanders — synthesizing PYRE ground data with camera networks, satellite detection, weather, and field reports through an open API.

Longer-term, the same mesh and gateway architecture is designed to extend toward wildland crew safety and accountability tracking — a confirmed gap raised directly by fire agency leadership in the field.

Traction

Built in New Mexico. Validated by the people who fight fire here.
