Pyrologix is one of 57 Energy and Climate Tech Innovators Chosen from Over 400 Applicants (Missoula, MT, Sept 23) – Pyrologix, the leader in accurate and validated wildfire hazard and risk modeling, is proud to announce its selection as a finalist for Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) 2025 Pitch Fest, taking place September […]
In a landmark peer-reviewed validation study, Pyrologix predicts where most wildfires will occur with proven, actionable accuracy – areas that actually burned were predicted to be 3.5X more likely to do so. Through a newly published paper, Pyrologix has recently demonstrated the best predictive performance of burn probability modeling published to date. Across insurance, utilities, […]
A fuelscape is a quantitative raster representation of the fuel, vegetation, and topography across a landscape. The fuelscape consists of geospatial datasets representing surface fuel model (FM40), canopy cover (CC), canopy height (CH), canopy bulk density (CBD), canopy base height (CBH), and topography (slope, aspect, elevation). These datasets can be combined into a single landscape […]
The purpose of the Texas Wildfire Hazard Assessment (TWRA) is to provide essential information about wildfire hazard across all land ownerships within the state of Texas. The foundation of any wildfire risk assessment is the wildfire hazard data used to characterize fire behavior on the landscape. In the quantitative framework for assessing wildfire risk to […]
The purpose of the Southern Region Wildfire Hazard and Risk Assessment (SWRA) is to provide essential information about wildfire hazard across all land ownerships within the region. The foundation of any wildfire risk assessment is the wildfire hazard data used to characterize fire behavior on the landscape. In the quantitative framework for assessing wildfire risk […]
A fuelscape is a representation of the fuel, vegetation, and topography across a landscape. The fuelscape consists of geospatial datasets representing surface fuel model (FM40), canopy cover (CC), canopy height (CH), canopy bulk density (CBD), canopy base height (CBH), slope, elevation, and aspect. These datasets can be combined into a single landscape file (LCP) and […]
The purpose of the Texas Wildfire Risk Assessment (TWRA) is to provide foundational information about wildfire hazard across the geographic area. Such information supports wildfire response, regional fuel management planning, and revisions to land and resource management plans. A wildfire risk assessment is a quantitative analysis of the assets and resources across a specific landscape […]
WildEST—the Wildfire Exposure Simulation Tool—is a cloud-based software system that uses a command line application of the FlamMap fire behavior modeling system1 to produce continuously variable landscape scale spatial data representing fire weather, flame-front, and ember characteristics as well as integrated measures of risk to buildings, wildfire hazard, and suppression difficulty.

In March 2022, Pyrologix was contracted by Timmons Group and the New Jersey Forest Fire Service to conduct a wildfire hazard assessment for the state of New Jersey. This project is part of the New Jersey Wildfire Hazard Assessment Project (NJHAZ). This effort involved three primary tasks: calibrating and updating the fuelscape, producing measures of […]
The effort to produce a wildfire hazard assessment across all land ownerships in Utah began in October 2021 when the Timmons Group and Utah Department of Natural Resources contracted with Pyrologix. The foundation of any wildfire hazard or risk assessment is a current-condition fuelscape, updated for recent disturbances and calibrated to reflect the fire behavior […]
