FLARE – High-Resolution, Frequent Wildfire Detection from Geostationary Satellites

Summary: FLARE provides 375-meter resolution wildfire detection across the continental US every 5 minutes using geostationary satellite data. Its AI model reconstructs detailed fire activity continuously, enabling earlier detection and tracking of fire progression beyond single hotspot alerts.

What it does

FLARE uses an AI model encoding radiative physics and combustion chemistry to generate synthetic 375m reflectance from GOES satellites at 5-minute intervals, delivering continuous fire activity monitoring and FireScore risk indices.

Who it's for

FLARE targets utilities, insurers, and fire agencies needing timely, high-resolution wildfire intelligence for operational decision-making.

Why it matters

It addresses the gap between resolution and refresh rate in wildfire monitoring, enabling earlier response and better risk assessment.
