WiSE Wildfire Safety Evaluator
WiSE Wildfire Safety Evaluator is a free Android application developed by Technosylva Inc. It falls under the Business & Productivity category and is a tool designed to provide safe separation distance calculations to wildland firefighters. The app helps firefighters identify suitable safety zones in the field by providing crucial information based on direct observations in the field.
With the inputs based on parameters such as wind, slope, fuel height, and resource information, wildland firefighters can quickly calculate the distance needed to provide themselves and others safety from burn injury. The tool was developed to support the model created at the USFS Fire Lab in Missoula by Dr Bret Butler and gives firefighters a powerful tool to help them stay safe while in the field.
