Prometeo / Pyrrha

Protecting Firefighters from Toxic Exposure

Problem

Wildland firefighters are routinely exposed to dangerous levels of toxic smoke and environmental hazards during fires, often without real-time monitoring of those conditions.


Solution

Prometeo created a system of wearable sensors that monitor toxic gas exposure and environmental conditions during firefighting operations, providing real-time safety data.

The project evolved into Pyrrha, an open-source platform designed to help monitor environmental risk during wildfires.


Impact

• Field tested with fire departments in Spain

• Technology expanded into the Pyrrha open-source safety platform

• Designed to support firefighter safety globally as wildfire risks grow
