PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Critical decisions need backup.
Wildfire Analyst™ provides the complete, validated, and defensible data you need to make calls that hold up to every scrutiny across the wildfire and extreme weather spectrum.
Situational awareness for wildfire, extreme weather, asset risk, and community impact – in one comprehensive platform.
Extreme weather creates extreme risks.
Every year, wildfires, floods, ice storms, and heat damage electric utility infrastructure, overwhelm emergency resources, and impact communities. How electric utilities and fire agencies manage these events impacts lives, land, and economy for generations.
Complete situational awareness is essential.
Wildfire and extreme weather puts electric utilities under constant pressure to maintain reliability, protect communities, and reduce risk. Informed decision-making requires continuous, trusted data, integrated across the entire risk mitigation process. From prediction to response, only a complete view can address the complex operational and planning challenges utilities face.
One integrated platform for critical decisions
Wildfire Analyst delivers scientifically validated, real-time intelligence to help you make critical decisions quickly and accurately. Our solution integrates multiple data sources to deliver spread predictions, what-if scenarios, and forecasts for weather, asset risk, and impacted populations. These insights enable wildfire planning and operations across your service territory from start to finish.
Operations Questions
- How do I shut off power without affecting thousands of customers unnecessarily or starting a fire?
- How do I get emergency crews to the right places fast?
- How do I keep up when fires are spreading faster than my data can tell me?
Planning Questions
- Where should I spend my limited budget to reduce risk the most?
- Which areas need vegetation management first to make the biggest difference?
- How do I create wildfire plans with data I can actually trust and defend?
Two ways Wildfire Analyst supports your operations
-
For handling day-to-day decisions and responding when things are happening in real-time.
Know days ahead when weather conditions could cause problems. When fires start, instantly see where they might spread and which of your assets could be in danger. Make power shutoff decisions that protect communities without unnecessarily affecting thousands of customers.
-
For making smart long-term decisions about where to invest your budget and resources.
Figure out which assets are your biggest risks and where spending money on upgrades will actually make a difference. See the potential dollar impact of wildfire scenarios to justify your investments with real ROI data. Make informed decisions for wildfire mitigation plans that regulators will accept and that actually protect your system.
THE ENGINE BEHIND IT ALL
Less than one minute. One platform. Know a fire’s next move.
When wildfires happen, our on-demand wildfire simulations instantly determine the path of the fire, make spread predictions, and calculate potential impacts within seconds of incident notification. Our validated wildfire simulation capabilities are the industry standard for quality predictive results, combining essential wildfire prevention and response tools into a single solution.
What makes our simulations authoritative:
- Automatic impact analysis for people, structures, and assets
- Real-time detection data calibration using Machine Learning models
- CAD and IRWIN integrations for automatic spread predictions from all federal and state agencies
- Deterministic & probabilistic models to incorporate uncertainty and identify vulnerable areas

AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics provide deeper insights
I worked in wildfire risk assessment and mitigation for several years in California, becoming a seasoned partner with Technosylva at multiple California utilities. When I arrived at Xcel Energy, and I was tasked with continuing to build wildfire mitigation programs across a multi-state jurisdiction, I was pleased that Xcel had partnered with Technosylva to build its initial toolset, and expanding these capabilities across the expanded service territory was the natural choice to deliver quality analysis and modeling in an accelerated time frame.
In the face of more frequent extreme weather events, these tools equip us with the situational awareness to make informed decisions in both our grid operations and our system hardening investments to mitigate against ignitions associated with our electrical facilities in the least disruptive manner for our customers.
