Energy Aspects completes acquisition of Kayrros.

Welcome to Kayrros FireWatch

///

FireWatch is a wildfire prevention and crisis management solution developed by Kayrros, in partnership with SERTIT.

FireWatch is used by the French Civil Security authorities as part of an operational demonstration programme led by the Directorate General for Civil Security and Crisis Management (DGSCGC) of the French Ministry of the Interior.

Users: National Civil Security Command, defence and security zones, and local fire and rescue services (SDIS).

An innovation accelerated through France 2030 funding, operated by CNES.
Anticipate, monitor and protect against wildfires across French territory in near-real time using satellite technology.

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and more intense

Every year, they pose an increasing threat to populations, infrastructure and ecosystems. FireWatch provides crisis management stakeholders with a near-real-time view of fire evolution and the defensibility of buildings, using satellite imagery deployed nationwide.

The FireWatch Solution

Before the crisis

Assessment of building defensibility, updated three times per year.
Analysis at asset and municipality level.
Historical data and configurable defensibility criteria.

During the fire

Continuous monitoring across the entire country using multispectral optical satellite imagery.

Nationwide coverage, 24/7.
Hotspot detection every 10 minutes.
Alerts when a fire is detected.
Near-real-time visualization of fire front evolution.
Fire spread simulation (module based on ForeFire, developed through research by CNRS and Jean-Baptiste Filippi).
Analysis of area defensibility to optimize the deployment of resources.
Rapid mapping service available 365 days a year, 24/7.
Analysis and visualization tools (data layers, wind, infrastructure, etc.).
Integration into your operational environment (tactical situation, reference datasets).

After the fire

Recording of all events: hotspot detection, fire perimeters and vegetation damage.
Retrospective analysis to refine operational doctrines.
Contribution to RCCI investigations (Recherche des Causes et Circonstances des Incendies — investigation into the causes and circumstances of fires).
