About this organization

Organization Information : Founded in 2020, Fire Neural Network (FNN) detects lightning initiated fires in seconds. By using satellite data, implementing FNN's proprietary lightning detectors, UAV FireBird, and unleashing the power of artificial intelligence using signal processing tools from astrophysics, Fire Neural Network delivers actionable intelligence in real-time.FNN™ continuously pushes its technological boundaries. This ceaseless drive allowed FNN™ to be funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.FNN (formerly known as Fire Neural Network) is revolutionizing how utilities manage lightning-related outages. As a 35 Mules company, we've partnered with Florida’s largest power provider to cut O&M costs and accelerate restoration. Our High-Risk-Lightning™ (HRL™) solution uses AI-driven sensors to detect lightning damage in real time, eliminating costly investigations and reducing downtime. Integrated with Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS).Lightning initiated fires are responsible for 70% of the area burned across the western United States.

Other Information: Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, Fire Neural Network (FNN) specializes in AI-driven wildfire detection and prevention. Their proprietary High-Risk-Lightning™ (HRL™) detectors identify lightning strikes with potential to ignite fires. By analyzing environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind, and fuel moisture, FNN's system assesses the likelihood of ignition. When a high-risk strike is detected, alerts are sent to firefighting agencies within 40 seconds, enabling rapid response. Additionally, FNN's FireBird drones verify ignition points, providing real-time situational awareness. Recognized as a GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch honoree, FNN continues to innovate in wildfire risk reduction.
