Emergency response toolkit
Spatial intelligence and multihazard nowcasting
Wildcaster covers the whole chain of a multihazard emergency in one tool: it detects the wildfire from space, propagates fire and smoke across the real terrain, forecasts the impact immediately, coordinates every team working it, and produces the report and the forensic record afterwards. Always looking 24 hours ahead, on scientifically validated models, computed on decentralised edge devices that keep working with no connection.

Detect, nowcast, assess, coordinate, report
Detect
Satellites see the fire and the map updates by itself.
Nowcast
The next 24 hours of fire growth, in seconds.
Impact
Towns, people and critical points in the path.
Coordinate
One shared picture across every team.
Report
Detailed forecasts and forensic reports in seconds.
One common shared picture
Every fire, team position and report on one picture that all devices keep in step. What one person marks, everyone sees.
Works even off-grid
The forecast is computed on the device, from data carried on board, and keeps working with no connection at all.
From command to the line
Manager, coordinator and field team on the same tool, so the picture never has to be retyped or relayed.
3 seconds of computation for the next 24 hours
Our hybrid fire propagation engine, using hourly weather fields and terrain data, produces accurate 24-hour nowcasts computed on the spot. Validated through the intense 2026 fire season Europe-wide, from small fires to multi-day megafires.
- A full day of warning on where to place crews, machinery and aircraft.
- One to three seconds for a full 24 hours of fire behaviour, on the device, even without connection.
- Fast reruns let you simulate interventions on the fly, with the freshest weather.
01 Terrain
The real ground: elevation, slope and the direction each hillside faces.
02 Weather
Wind, temperature and moisture, hour by hour, across the whole area.
03 Fuels
What is on the ground to burn, and how dry it is.
04 The fire
Ignitions, area already burned, and the suppression work under way.
A Rothermel surface-spread core sets the local rate of spread from fuel, moisture, wind and slope. The front advances as elliptical wavelets on a level-set solver, so separate fires merge, wrap around barriers and split without any hand editing. Van Wagner and Cruz govern crown-fire initiation and active crown spread, Byram yields fireline intensity and flame length, Fosberg drives dead fuel moisture hour by hour, and a firebrand model launches, transports and ignites spot fires downwind. Built from Copernicus, ESA, EUMETSAT and NASA space data and DWD ICON-EU weather, all carried on the device.
Proven fire science, built for the edge
WildEngine combines proven fire science with state-of-the-art numerical methods, and is engineered to be extremely efficient: the whole forecast runs on the device itself, at the edge, not in a data centre.
- Proven models, decades in operational use: Rothermel surface spread, Van Wagner and Cruz crown fire, Albini spotting.
- State of the art where it counts: a level-set fire front, firebrand transport and plume feedback.
- Built for edge computing: 24 hours of fire behaviour in seconds on a laptop, tablet or phone, with no server and no connection.
Immediate assessment of burning damage, real time or forensic
Perimeter estimated in near real time from satellite detections, not surveyed on the ground. Colour shows age: yellow is burning now, dark red is a day old.
- Multi-constellation infrared detection and imagery.
- A geostationary sensor looks at the same ground every ten minutes.
- Often the first alert, before anyone calls it in.
- No drawing, no tracing. Perimeter and hectares are automatic.
Impact forecast turns first response into proactive response
The moment the fire is on the map, Wildcaster lists the affected critical points hour by hour, the municipalities and the population in its path, and the burnt surface by land type, each one with the hour it is expected to be reached.
- Municipality by municipality, on official census population, never an estimate, so the figure survives scrutiny.
- Millions of Europe-wide critical points already on board: hamlets, isolated dwellings, farms, campsites, hotels, schools, fuel stations, industry, telecom masts, linear infrastructure.
- Evacuation and confinement decisions made fast, with machine-aided intelligence.
Smoke and pollutant concentration nowcasting
A fire threatens the people in its path. Its smoke threatens people who are nowhere near it, up to hundreds of kilometres downwind. Wildcaster analyses concentration at ground level with an advanced particle dispersion engine driven by three-dimensional atmospheric conditions.
- Where the plume lands and when, hour by hour, at the height people breathe.
- Supports the health decision: advisories, shelter in place, protection of hospitals, schools and care homes.
- Supports traffic and airspace: visibility on motorways, approaches to airports.
- Overnight matters most. The model reproduces the night-time collapse that pushes smoke back into valleys and towns.
And everything else the command post needs
Three tiers, one engine
The fire behaviour model is the same in every tier. What changes is whether the picture is live, whether a team shares it, and whether you are running Wildcaster or building on it.
Engage
Anyone who wants to see what the engine does.

Build on it
Integrators, platforms and research programmes.
Scoped to the integration
- Use WildEngine and the smoke solver inside your own product
- Custom implementation against your data and workflows
- Hazards beyond wildfire on the same substrate
- Direct engineering contact
Institution is quoted on the area you are responsible for, not per seat, so adding crews to an incident never costs more. Trials for a full operational season, research collaborations and public procurement are handled case by case: tell us what you cover and we will scope it.
Talk to us about your territory
Tell us the region you protect, the size of your organisation and the season you are preparing for. We will come back with a scoped proposal, and we can set up a live walkthrough on your own terrain.
