Bushfire intelligence from aerial and thermal imagery

FireSignal

FireSignal is designed to help teams turn aerial imagery, thermal data, and geospatial context into clearer fire signals, risk indicators, and review priorities. It supports bushfire detection, triage, mapping, and decision workflows without claiming to replace emergency services or established incident command systems.

Problem

The operational problem

Bushfire-prone environments can generate large volumes of uncertain field data. Thermal imagery, drone footage, weather context, asset locations, and geospatial layers may all be relevant, but the challenge is turning that information into earlier signals, defensible risk indicators, and practical review priorities.

Product boundaries

What FireSignal is - and what it is not

FireSignal is designed to support human review of aerial imagery, thermal data, and geospatial context. It can help identify candidate signals, risk indicators, and review priorities.

What it is

  • A bushfire intelligence software product
  • A way to turn aerial and thermal imagery into reviewable signals
  • A support layer for detection, triage, mapping, and decision workflows
  • A product that can be licensed and configured around defined geographies, data sources, and review processes

What it is not

  • A replacement for emergency services
  • A replacement for incident command systems
  • An official fire-warning system
  • A guarantee that every fire, hotspot, or risk indicator will be detected

Who it is for

Designed for teams managing fire-risk data and aerial intelligence

Councils and local government teams

Land managers

Environmental teams

Infrastructure and asset owners

Drone inspection teams

Fire-risk analysts

Software or data partners working with aerial imagery

What FireSignal can support

FireSignal can be configured around sample aerial imagery, thermal data, geospatial layers, candidate fire or smoke signals, hotspot scoring, confidence indicators, and review-ready outputs. The product is designed for practical human-review workflows where better signal detection, triage, and prioritisation can support operational decision-making.

Best first discussion

What to bring to a licence discussion

The best first FireSignal licence discussion is one with a clear geography, imagery source, review objective, operational context, and intended commercial use.

Commercial pathway

Commercial licence pathway

FireSignal can be licensed for defined product access, technical evaluation, configuration, and commercial use around agreed data sources, geographies, and review workflows. A first licence discussion should establish the intended use case, imagery source, review objective, required outputs, and commercial access terms.

Discuss a licence
  1. Define the use case and licence scope
  2. Confirm imagery sources and review workflow
  3. Configure signal detection and output requirements
  4. Agree commercial access, support, and next-stage deployment terms

Example workflow

Example FireSignal workflow

A practical FireSignal workflow would typically start with a bounded geography and a clear review objective, then move from imagery into scored signals and review-ready outputs.

  1. Provide or connect aerial and thermal imagery.
  2. Define the geography, assets, and review objective.
  3. Run signal detection, scoring, and mapping logic.
  4. Review candidate signals, confidence scores, and overlays.
  5. Export outputs for reporting, review, or operational planning.
