Your guests sleep in the forest. We watch all night.

FireSignal Locations sends an email the moment a satellite sees fire within the radius around your sites. All of Europe, updated every fifteen minutes, in eight languages. And when it is over, you hear that too.

Built for campsites. Just as good for solar farms, transmission corridors, railways and an insured portfolio: anything that stands outside town and cannot run away.

One email, with everything you need to decide

No dashboard to open, no app to learn. A message in your inbox, written for someone woken at three in the morning.

Open the map with your sites

In case of danger, always follow the fire service and local authorities. This message is an information aid.

  • Distance to the edge, not to the centre

    A fire of 120 hectares has an edge that sits kilometres closer than its centre. We measure what you actually want to know.

  • Wind and immediateion included

    The same fire is a different story when the wind blows away from you. Wind data comes from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, per site.

  • How old the observation is

    You see when the fire was seen and when it was confirmed. No false certainty about something observed an hour ago.

  • To everyone who needs to know

    Unlimited recipients, each in their own language. The night shift in France gets French, head office in Utrecht gets Dutch.

  • And afterwards: all clear

    When the fire is out or moves away, you hear that too. An alert without an ending is an alert people learn to ignore.

More than an email

The alerting is the heart of it. Around that sits everything you need to show it to guests, colleagues and your insurer.

for those who prefer to do it themselves

And now: an app for your guests

An email reaches you. It does not reach your guests, and they are the ones sleeping outdoors. The FireSignal app does, and you decide what it says.

Free for your guests

Whoever scans your site's code follows that site for as long as they are with you. No account needed and no cost.

for guests with a phone

You send the messages yourself

From the portal you send a message to everyone who has redeemed your code. The road is closed, the assembly point is the car park, or in fact: there is no danger despite the smoke.

for reception and the site manager

In the guest's language

You pick a standard sentence, for example “Assemble at …”, and fill in where. Only that last part you type yourself; the sentence around it is ready in eight languages. Your German guest reads German while you type Dutch.

for sites with guests from across Europe

Three kinds of message

You decide per message how loudly it lands. Not everything is an evacuation, so not everything is equally loud.

NormalArrives like any other message. For a note from reception, or to say there is no danger.
UrgentBreaks through a focus mode. For smoke you can smell, a closed road, or asking people to stay on site.
CriticalArrives even if the phone is on silent. Only for evacuating, assembling and staying indoors.

You can also adjust what the satellite sees

You know things we do not. If you can see the fire and it is real, you confirm it with one press and the alert becomes louder for your guests. If the farmer next door is burning stubble, you turn it down.

The app is available for iPhone and Android. Your guests pay nothing and set nothing up; they scan the code you put up.

What happens between a spark and your inbox

This is a sequence, and the order is the reason you can trust the message.

A satellite sees heat

Several satellites watch Europe: some sharply but only a few times a day, one continuousousously but more coarsely. Together they miss little.

continuousous
We filter out what is not a fire

Factories, solar farms, greenhouses and gas flares light up too. Several masking layers remove them, usually within days and retroactively.

every 15 minutes
Detections become one fire

Separate pixels are merged into a single event with an edge, a size and a history.

every 15 minutes
The distance to your site

For every site: how far the edge is, in which immediateion, and what the wind is doing. Inside the radius means an alert.

every 5 minutes
The message, and later the all clear

The email goes to all your recipients in their own language. If the fire moves away or dies out, the message that it is over follows.

immediate

What satellites cannot do

We do not sell false certainty. Three things to know before you sign.

There is time between two looks

The satellites that look sharply pass over a few times a day. A fire that starts in between is only seen by the satellite that watches continuousousously, and that one sees large fires only. Usually you know between half an hour and three and a half hours after it starts.

Cloud and smoke block the view

Heavy cloud or a thick plume of smoke can hide a fire. In the Insight package you get a notice when satellite visibility at your site is limited, so you know when you cannot rely on us.

This replaces nothing

FireSignal is an extra safety net and a head start on information. Not a replacement for the emergency number, the authorities, FR-Alert or your own protocol. The same honesty is on our public map.

For anyone with people or installations outside built-up areas

Knowing earlier that something is burning means you can divert, scale down or evacuate on your own terms instead of under pressure.

Campsites and holiday parks

Guests sleep outdoors and evacuating takes time. Knowing early means acting calmly instead of improvising, and a badge on your site means fewer anxious bookings.

Insurers and asset managers

A portfolio of hundreds of assets in one dashboard, with the fire history of each since 2012 and a season report for the underwriter.

Solar and wind farms

Unmanned sites in dry grass and heathland, often hard to reach and rarely visited.

Energy, telecom and infrastructure

Substations, transmission corridors, mast sites and railway lines through forest and heath, where fire and smoke force a shutdown.

Three packages, each covering all your sites

The difference is not how much we monitor, but what comes with it.

Signal

The monitoring itself: you know when something is burning.

  • Email alert when fire enters your radius, and the all clear afterwards
  • Daily summary at a time you choose
  • Dashboard with distances and alert history
  • Map view with your logo, guest page and poster per site
  • Status badge for your website
  • Unlimited recipients, eight languages
Most chosen

Insight

Plus the context to act beforehand instead of afterwards.

  • Everything in Signal, plus:
  • Risk profile per site from the satellite archive since 2012
  • Comparison with every place in Europe
  • Fire danger for today and tomorrow, per site, on dashboard and guest page
  • Season report with fire danger for the days ahead, as a PDF
  • A notice when satellite visibility is limited

Integration

For those who want it built into their own way of working.

  • Everything in Insight, plus:
  • Alerts to Teams, Slack or your own webhook
  • Every message digitally signed, so your system can verify it
  • Integration with your own systems on request

A fixed amount per site per month, on a scale that drops as you monitor more sites. Everything included: alerting, dashboard, reports, maintenance and support. You get a quote based on the number of sites and the channels you want.

Request a pilot

The first month is free, with everything included

All your sites, every feature, no obligations. You send a list, we set everything up the same day.

  1. You send a list of sites: name plus address or coordinate.
  2. We set up the dashboard, the alerting and the map, and send you the login details.
  3. You receive a test alert, so you know what it looks like before it is real.
  4. After a month you decide. Nothing to sign, nothing to cancel.

Prefer to talk first? hallo@1338.nl

No obligations. We reply within one working day.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly am I notified after a fire breaks out?

As soon as a satellite has seen the fire and the data has been processed: usually between half an hour and three and a half hours after the pass. A fire that started between two passes may therefore still be invisible. Large fires are then updated every ten minutes.

How many false alarms will I get?

Several filter layers remove recurring industrial heat sources automatically, usually within a few days and retroactively. A source that still gets through can be muted with one click; new fires continuousouse to alert as normal.

Does this work outside Europe?

Current coverage is Europe and the Mediterranean. The underlying satellite data is global; other regions are possible on request.

How is our site data handled?

We process only the site name, coordinate, alert radius and the email addresses of recipients. The system runs on servers in Europe. Your data is not shared and not used for anything other than your alerting.

Can we integrate it with our own systems?

Besides email, Teams, Slack and your own webhook are available, with a digital signature on every message. That is part of the Integration package.

Is FireSignal an official alerting system?

No. FireSignal is an information aid. In case of danger always follow official channels such as 112, NL-Alert or FR-Alert, and the instructions of the fire service and local authorities.
