THE PROBLEM

Many global firefighters and incident commanders do not have a simple, effective and reliable way to monitor the location of all resources on an emergency incident as well as the dangerous effects of firefighting operations, that may negatively impact the lives and health of our dedicated firefighters.

The Problem
Firefighters are dying in silence.
Despite the high-risk environment they face daily, firefighters lack real-time situational awareness, biometric monitoring, and reliable communications—especially in remote or wildland-urban interface areas.

• Line-of-duty deaths and long-term health issues (cardiac events, toxic exposures, cancers) remain stubbornly high.

• Incident commanders often operate with blind spots, unaware of a firefighter’s condition or location until it’s too late.

• Traditional radios and cellular networks fail in the very moments they're needed most.

Firefighters are operating in the 21st century with 20th century tools. It’s costing lives.
