Cinder
We see the fire in its first minute.
Climate resilience
The premise
A wildfire is almost always winnable in its first hour and almost never winnable after its first day. The hard part has always been knowing — Cinder is the part that knows.
We blanket fire-prone terrain with solar-powered sensors and pair them with satellite and camera vision. The moment a fire starts, Cinder detects the ignition, pinpoints it within metres, and hands crews a dispatch before the first plume is even visible.
How it works
Sense
Low-cost solar sensors watch for the gases and heat of ignition across ridgelines and canyons, day and night.
Confirm
AI cross-checks ground signals against satellite and camera feeds to rule out false alarms in seconds.
Dispatch
A precise location and spread forecast is pushed straight to responders — hours of uncertainty become one decisive minute.
Signals
Be first when Cinder opens its doors.
Never shared, never sold. One reply removes it.
Cinder is an exploratory Invisally concept.
