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
Technology
IoT Sensors • Environmental Monitoring • AI Analytics
