Forest Fire Early-Warning System
Satellite-driven fire risk detection with automated SMS alerting, deployed across 40,000 sq. km of protected forest — turning satellite passes into actionable warnings within minutes.

Hours of Earlier Warning
Fire risk assessment relied on ranger patrols and manual weather bulletins, covering only a fraction of the protected area at any time. By the time a fire was reported, it had often already spread beyond easy containment.
The department needed a way to monitor the entire forest continuously, not just the areas patrols could physically reach.
We built a pipeline that ingests thermal-anomaly data from satellite passes, cross-referenced against vegetation dryness indices and wind conditions through a trained risk-scoring model. When risk crosses threshold, the system automatically triggers SMS alerts to range officers in the affected zone.
A department-wide dashboard visualises live risk zones, historical fire incidents and patrol coverage on one map.
