pyri

Wildfires increasingly strike regions where camera towers and satellite monitoring are too costly to deploy at scale. Pyri makes pinecone-shaped sensors from non-toxic organic materials that lie dormant until fire heat triggers a location-specific alert over existing networks. Sensors are air-dropped by drone or helicopter, need no maintenance, and degrade harmlessly into the environment.

Unlike satellite imagery and tower-mounted camera networks that watch from above, Pyri detects ignitions at ground level, offering low-cost coverage across terrain those systems leave unmonitored. This positions Pyri alongside satellite infrastructure, serving land managers, utilities, emergency services, and insurers.
