Pyre is a comprehensive fire management platform that integrates advanced technology, data analytics, and machine learning to revolutionize how we predict, prevent, and respond to wildfires. Our solution addresses critical challenges in wildfire management including climate change, human-caused ignitions, resource limitations, and urban expansion into fire-prone regions.

• Resource limitations: 50% drop in firefighter applications Based on 2022 data with regions hitting only half their staffing goals
• Climate change shifting peak fire season from August to July Source: US EPA data on earlier, hotter springs
• 90% of wildfires are human-induced Sources: World Wildlife Fund, Axios
• Urban expansion into fire-prone regions Increasing risk to lives and infrastructure

• Suppression-focused approach causing fuel buildup Decades of prioritizing suppression over ecosystem management
• Underutilization of prescribed burns Effective but rarely implemented due to regulations and resources
• Inconsistent policies across jurisdictions Creates fragmented, inefficient responses
• 72.6% of 2023 fires were human-caused Peaked at 77.2% in 2020, indicating worsening trend
