Protect Your Community

Beacon Boxes support local and out of area public safety personnel with protecting homes under threat from wildfire.

Did you know that during major wildfires odds are that the firefighters responding in your community will not be familiar with your local areaand may not have internet access?

Our patents-pending product contains maps uniquely designed to assist those who are unfamiliar with an area to understand the terrain, what infrastructure exists, and which areas are most vulnerable. It gives responders the information they need to best protect your community.

These highly visible, physical boxes are designed to work together as a system. By strategically placing Beacon Boxes at key sites and entrance points in an area, firefighters and other safety personnel receive accurate and highly localized information.

FAQs

Beacon Boxes™ were invented to help public safety personnel save homes from wildfire.

The goal is to provide emergency personnel with the highest quality information identifying important resources, features, and structure vulnerability information in a high resolution and easily digestible format.

Actual Scenario:

During a major wildfire event, public safety personnel are dispatched from across the country in a system called mutual aid. In practical terms, this means that larger the event the higher the probability that the personnel that arrive onsite will have zero familiarity with your local roads, topography, or how wildfire may affect the homes in a community. Beacon Boxes provide curated information in form of maps in a grab and go format exactly where it is needed. This gives firefighters confidence in what may be ahead and provides the best chance for them to succeed in saving homes.

As wildfire events continue to threaten communities, Beacon Boxes provide another measure to assist emergency personnel be more effective at their job.

Beacon Boxes use a patent pending approach to information gathering and visualization. The maps have been carefully crafted to provide the right level of information to help emergency personnel make strategic and tactical decisions in order to position resources, understand areas of greater structure vulnerability.
