Francisca Wildfire Prediction
A wildfire system that predicts ignition risk and spread from satellite and weather data.

The challenge
Command teams needed fire-spread prediction fast enough and accurate enough to drive cross-agency response.
Who it is for
Emergency-response command teams and cross-agency coordination efforts.
My role
I designed and built the prediction system.
How it works
- The system reads satellite imagery and weather signals for the area under watch.
- It predicts ignition risk and fire spread in near real time, fast enough to direct a response.
The decisions that mattered
- I built it to learn how fire behaves across both terrain and time, because a forecast that ignores either one misdirects crews.
Outcomes
- The pipeline turns satellite and weather data into actionable fire-spread forecasts.
