FireTracker™ – Daily global fire monitoring

FireTracker monitors and flags fire  in real-time across your whole portfolio — so you can prevent further burn and quantify damage to investors and buyers.

A single large fire can reverse years of carbon removal

Fire is one of the biggest reversal risks to a nature-based carbon project. Across a portfolio, most teams have no reliable way to know a site has burned — let alone quantify the damage or move to protect what’s left.

FireTracker monitors every site and its surrounding buffer zone every day, anywhere on Earth. You learn about a fire outbreak in days instead of months — while you can still check in with the on-the-ground team, scope the damage, and quantify the event for buyers and investors.

Catch every fire, every day

FireTracker combines radar and optical data to monitor every site and its surroundings daily, right across the planet. Outbreaks are flagged within 24 hours — time to put protective measures in place.

Turn an alert into a damage assessment

Cross-reference burnt areas with recent satellite imagery and analyse a fire’s impact on project success with the Space Intelligence monitoring suite — GrowthTracker and DisturbanceTracker. Together they confirm and quantify the damage, and evidence it for your stakeholders.

How we compare

Confirmed fire, in context

Free feeds and active-fire tools do related but different jobs. Here’s how FireTracker compares when the job is monitoring a carbon portfolio and evidencing what happened to it.

FireTracker Free fire hotspot feedse.g NASA FIRMS Other fire monitoring tools
What it is Confirmed-fire monitoring for nature carbon projects Free active-fire hotspot points Active wildfire detection and response
What it detects Confirmed fire — actual burned area Thermal hotspots while a fire is burning Active fire, near real-time
Latency Daily Near real-time Near real-time
Reliability Under 1% false alarms on major fires Noisy — high false positives, misses fires under cloud Reliance on optical data alone might hinder result accuracy
Project context Pre-clipped to your sites, inside the Platform None — you build and maintain the pipeline yourself Built for immediate fire response
Best for Monitoring and quantifying fire damage in carbon portfolios Free, do-it-yourself general fire awareness Emergency fire response and post-event analysis

FireTracker is one part of a complete monitoring suite

Every nature-based project faces different monitoring challenges. Our full monitoring suite covers the entire lifecycle including early growth tracking and small canopy loss detection.
