Once you’ve added assets, WFS helps you automatically detect when a fire is close to locations that matter to you—so you can act faster and more effectively.
🔍 Identify Assets Near Fire Clusters
The Nearby Asset Distance feature helps you quickly understand whether a fire cluster may impact your infrastructure.
When does this feature appear?
The Nearby Assets table is automatically displayed when:
- You have created at least one asset
AND - A fire cluster is detected within 10 km of that asset
👉 When both conditions are met, the table appears inside the cluster details panel
What the Nearby Asset Table Shows
The table displays:
- The asset name
- The distance between the fire cluster and the asset
- Updated distance measurements as the fire perimeter grows
👉 Clicking the table expands it to show all affected assets and their distances from the fire.
Continuous Monitoring
The Nearby Assets table updates automatically throughout the entire cluster lifecycle.
This allows you to:
- Track whether a fire is moving closer to or away from your assets
- Monitor risk dynamically as conditions change
Why It Matters
This feature helps teams:
- Quickly evaluate risk to critical assets
- Prioritize suppression resources
- Plan initial attack or containment strategies
By combining Fire Spread simulations with asset monitoring, you gain a clearer understanding of both fire behavior and potential impact zones.
🔥Combine with Fire Spread for better decisions
To go one step further:
- Use Nearby Assets to understand what is at risk
- Use Fire Spread to understand where the fire may go next
👉 Together, they provide a clearer picture of both current risk and future impact
