Start Here: OroraTech's Wildfire Solution

Welcome to the Wildfire Solution (WFS)!  This article is your very first step in getting started.
You'll learn how to set up the essentials, find your way around the platform, and get a glimpse of the most important features.

First Things First

• Set Up Your Monitored Areas & Sub-Areas: Define the regions you want to track so WFS can start sending you relevant fire detections.
• Set Up Notifications & Alerts: Choose how you’d like to be alerted (SMS, WhatsApp, email, etc.) to make sure you never miss a critical update.

💡 We recommend completing both before diving into the rest of WFS.

Navigating the Platform 

It’s time for a first look around the platform. The article Navigating WFS 2.0 will help you find your way around the interface. Think of this as your quick “orientation tour” of WFS, which goes hand-in-hand with the basics you’ll start learning next.
