Predict and verify wildfire ignitions before they become emergencies.
Stimulus combines predictive modeling, real-time verification, and operational intelligence to help agencies, utilities, and industrial operators detect probable wildfire ignitions and respond faster than conventional monitoring allows.
Most wildfire detection still runs on yesterday's systems.
Satellite passes, ground reports, and camera networks tell operators where a fire already is — not where one is about to start. That gap is where damage compounds.
Where existing systems fall short
How Stimulus is different
Prediction → Verification → Action
Prediction
Models score probable ignition zones from weather, fuel moisture, and atmospheric trigger data.
Verification
Candidate ignitions are checked against live satellite, sensor, and reporting data before an alert is issued.
Action
Verified alerts are routed to operators with location, confidence, and recommended response.
Results built on operational data, not projections.
Every figure below comes from deployments in active wildfire regions — not lab conditions.
Of fires successfully predicted and independently verified in the 2026 season.
The model is up to 14 days ahead of conventional detection methods.
Precision rate — four in five flagged predictions are confirmed real ignitions.
Everything an operations team needs, in one place.

Platform questions
From raw signal to a team on the ground.
Four stages, from first prediction to a confirmed response — each one built to remove a specific point of failure in traditional detection.
Prediction
Stimulus continuously tracks high-risk weather activity across a region and scores the likelihood that each event will ignite a wildfire, using weather, fuel moisture, and terrain data. High-probability events are flagged for verification immediately — well before conventional methods would have any indication a fire exists.
Verification
Once an event is flagged, Stimulus cross-references live satellite imagery, autonomous drone flights, ground crews, and available reporting to confirm whether an ignition actually occurred. Because this happens immediately after a high-risk event, Stimulus can confirm a fire up to 14 days before conventional methods — spotters, public reports, or aircraft patrols — would discover it, especially in remote, smoky, or densely canopied terrain where fires can smolder undetected for days or weeks.
Action
Verified alerts route directly to the responsible team — by region, severity, or asset proximity — with location, confidence, and a recommended response, either in the dashboard or through existing dispatch tools via the API.
Deployment & Response
With a verified, located alert in hand within minutes of ignition, crews can be mobilized immediately instead of waiting on delayed conventional detection. Outcomes are logged automatically, feeding the reporting and results data your team reviews afterward.
Where trust is built.
These figures come from active deployments — not modeled projections. Here's what they mean and how they're measured.
How these numbers are measured
Calibrated to your biome, not a generic model
Stimulus doesn't run one fixed model everywhere. Each deployment is tuned to the specific vegetation, fuel type, terrain, and climate of the region it covers.
Verified events, by biome
Detailed write-ups of individual verified predictions, including timeline and response outcome.
Coastal river valley corridor
Ignition identified and alerted well ahead of confirmed detection by conventional methods, located within a predicted 500 m zone.
Northern boreal zone
In a controlled field trial, a weather-driven ignition was confirmed using an autonomous drone flown on a pre-programmed flight path within hours of a high-risk weather event.
Southern interior valley
Ignition confirmed within hours of a flagged high-risk weather event — well ahead of when conventional patrols would have discovered it in this interior forest terrain.
Built for the teams accountable for wildfire risk.
Each sector faces wildfire risk differently. Select an industry to see how Stimulus applies to it.
Coordinating response across an entire region
Challenge
Crews and aircraft need to reach a new ignition fast, across a jurisdiction too large to patrol manually — and remote or obscured fires can go undetected for days.
How Stimulus Helps
Region-wide weather-trigger tracking and verification gives dispatch a ranked, confidence-scored view of confirmed ignitions — detected up to 14 days before conventional methods would discover them.
Expected Outcome
Faster crew response, fewer reactive dispatches, and a defensible record of predicted-vs-actual performance for reporting.
Protecting infrastructure along transmission corridors
Challenge
Equipment failures near dry vegetation are a leading ignition source, and corridors span terrain that's hard to patrol continuously.
How Stimulus Helps
Ignition risk scoring along asset corridors, with alerts tied to specific line segments and substations via API.
Expected Outcome
Earlier public safety power shutoff decisions and a documented risk trail for regulatory review.
Safeguarding remote and high-value assets
Challenge
Well pads, pipelines, and facilities are often in remote, fire-prone terrain with minimal on-site monitoring.
How Stimulus Helps
Continuous prediction coverage around facility footprints, with verified alerts routed straight to site operations.
Expected Outcome
Faster shutdown and evacuation decisions, and reduced unplanned downtime from late-notice fire events.
Keeping operations and personnel ahead of risk
Challenge
Open-pit and remote operations carry ignition risk from equipment and terrain, with crews on-site around the clock.
How Stimulus Helps
Site-level risk scoring integrated into existing safety and operations dashboards via API.
Expected Outcome
Advance notice built into existing safety protocols, rather than a separate system to monitor.
Protecting managed timber and land assets
Challenge
Large, managed forest holdings need continuous risk visibility across seasons of shifting fuel moisture.
How Stimulus Helps
Seasonal and real-time fuel and ignition risk scoring across full land holdings, with exportable reporting for land managers.
Expected Outcome
Better-timed harvest, thinning, and access-restriction decisions based on live risk data.
Protecting habitat and land holdings before fire reaches them
Challenge
Land trusts, conservation groups, and watershed managers are responsible for protected land they can't monitor around the clock, where a single fire season can undo years of restoration or contaminate a water supply.
How Stimulus Helps
Ignition risk scoring across protected land holdings and watersheds, with verified prediction and historical event data exportable for independent research and reporting.
Expected Outcome
Earlier access restrictions, better-protected habitat and water sources, and stronger evidence to support conservation and land-management decisions.
Built by people who wanted a warning system that actually warns.
Stimulus started from a simple observation: the technology to predict fire risk existed, but the systems operators actually used still relied on spotting fires after they'd already started. We built the platform we thought should exist.
Give the people responsible for wildfire risk a real head start.
Every part of the platform — prediction, verification, alerts, reporting — is built around one goal: turning raw environmental data into a warning that arrives early enough to change the outcome.
Research Background
Our prediction models draw on peer-reviewed fire behavior research and are validated continuously against real outcomes in active deployment regions, not just historical datasets.
Company Story
What began as a modeling project for a single fire-prone region has grown into an operational platform that calibrates itself to the vegetation, terrain, and climate of each new biome it's deployed in.
Partnerships
We work directly with the agencies, utilities, and operators using the platform to keep prediction models grounded in the conditions of the regions they serve.
