FireFence is a mobile, automatic fire extinguishing system designed to contain wildfires at their onset. With fast deployment, FireFence gives responders a valuable edge in wildfire containment.
HoZe Solutions brings a novel approach to wildfire management by combining advanced fire containment simulation with a unique, academically validated, unmanned suppression system. Our platform empowers incident commanders and frontline practitioners with real-time, actionable intelligenceātransforming fire response from reactive to proactive.Ā
At the core of our solution is an intuitive mapping interface where users can design potential containment lines. The system then analyzes key variablesāsuch as vegetation type, fuel moisture, topography, fire history, and weatherāto calculate the probability of successfully holding the line based on available resources like water volume, crew size, and equipment. This turns static plans into dynamic, evidence-based strategies.Ā
Uniquely, our platform is optimized for deployment with FireFence, our proprietary unmanned suppression system. Unlike conventional methods that rely on fire crews with hoses or water drops from aircraft, FireFence delivers targeted water application along the fireline using up to 1000x less water, significantly increasing resource efficiency. Its autonomous operation drastically reduces personnel exposure, especially in dangerous or hard-to-access terrain. FireFence is also effective at night and in low-visibility or high-wind conditionsāwhen aerial support is groundedāensuring continuous 24/7 operability.Ā
This integrated solutionāblending geospatial modeling, simulation, and a novel ground-based suppression systemāoffers a scalable, resource-efficient, and practitioner-safe method for improving wildfire containment outcomes. Whether used independently or alongside traditional suppression tactics, HoZe Solutions redefines the standard for intelligent, effective wildfire response.
