8 Fire Sensor Ambient Control Systems FireAlert-DC The FireALERT-DC product supports the professional firefighting community by providing an early warning system for wildfires. The FireALERT-DC can be deployed by Homeowner’s Associations, forestry companies, State and Federal forestry departments and other organizations with assets that are at high risk from wildfires. The FireALERT-DC will detect and validate a 4’ x 4’ wildfire signature at a distance of ¼ mile, hence protecting an area of 160 acres. Larger wildfire signatures can be detected over considerably greater distances. This detection is achieved in under 4 minutes and the resulting fire alarm is communicated along with the FireALERT-DC’s GPS coordinates to the local Fire District’s Central Receiving and Dispatch Center. Some of the most devastating wildfires in recent years have burned undetected for hours and even days, making them very difficult to control. Providing such rapid detection of a wildfire event supports early response effectiveness of firefighters. This can minimize the spread of wildfires, reducing those that burn out of control and become a significant threat to life and assets.
