Wildfire Command & Decision Support

See the fire.
Understand the risk.
Coordinate the response.

IGNYX connects live maps, fire weather, fire behaviour, crews, aircraft and incident records in one common operating picture — on the phone in your pocket, with or without a signal.

Built for the field, the command post and the operations centre.

Decision support only — not a substitute for trained incident command.

Built for the full wildfire operation

One platform connecting detection, response and post-incident reporting.

The operational challenge

The information exists.
It's just never in one place.

Weather in one app. Satellite hotspots in another. Crew on WhatsApp. Paperwork on a clipboard in a bakkie. By the time it's assembled, the fire has moved.

The IGNYX approach

One workspace.
From first report to final review.

Capture, visualise and share what the incident actually needs — so the fireline, the command post and the operations room are looking at the same picture.

Four things IGNYX does

Everything below is running in the product today.

A fire line burning along a dark ridge at night
Field ready

Works with no signal.
Because that's where the fire is.

Installs to the home screen. Caches the full app and your map areas. Queues everything you do offline and syncs the moment you're back in range.

Evacuation

Publish an evacuation the public can actually read

Draw the zone. Mark the shelters. Write the message. Publish.

Residents open a free, fullscreen alert page — no app, no login, no account. It works out which zone they're standing in by GPS and gives them one-tap directions to the nearest shelter.

MANDATORY

Leave now. Imminent threat to life.

VOLUNTARY

Leave if you can. Threat developing.

ADVISORY

Be ready. Fire activity in your area.

Operations centre

A common operating picture for the entire incident

The JOC view puts the tactical map, fire weather, incident list and every deployed resource on one screen — and reassigns crews across fires in a single tap.

Solutions

Built for the organisations that fight fire

Global by design

Wildfire operations differ by region.
So does IGNYX.

Four fire-danger systems ship today — South African LFDI, Canadian FWI, McArthur FFDI and US NFDRS. IFRI scores any point on Earth with no setup at all.

Units, terminology, forms, map layers and organisational structures are designed to be configured around how your service actually operates. Additional integrations are added on request.

IFRI — Ignyx Fire Readiness Index

IGNYX's own 0–100 score. Layers fuel dryness and terrain on top of the weather rating, on a global hex grid, with a seven-day trend. No setup, no areas to define.

The product

Built around the way wildfire teams operate

Real screens from the running application.

Responsible use

Technology that supports — not replaces — professional judgement

Wildfire environments are dynamic and dangerous. IGNYX improves access to operational information, situational awareness and coordination. Decisions remain with appropriately trained and authorised personnel working under established incident-management procedures.

Pricing

Choose how to deploy IGNYX

The public layer stays free, permanently. Operational capability is what organisations pay for.

Command and Enterprise are sold directly by IGNYX under quotation. Enterprise pricing depends on users, regions, storage, integrations, training and support.

About

Built from real wildfire experience

IGNYX wasn't specified in a meeting. It was built over eight months by someone who runs fires, because the available tools either cost more than a brigade's annual budget or assumed a data connection that doesn't exist on a mountain at night.

It combines practical fire-management experience with modern mapping, mobile, weather and decision-support technology — and it is used on real incidents.

Every photograph on this site was taken on an operational incident.
