THE PROBLEM
Many firefighters and incident commanders around the world lack a simple, reliable way to track the location of their teams or monitor the dangerous health impacts of firefighting operations. This critical gap in real-time awareness puts lives at risk and leaves our most dedicated responders vulnerable to preventable harm.
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 network can fail in the very moments they're needed most.
Firefighters are operating in the 21st century with 20th century tools. It’s costing lives.
