Prometheus Shield
Now there is a system that guarantees a connection between the firefighter on the front line and incident Command.Prometheus ShieldIncident Management System for Wildland Fireswith Real-Time Satellite GPS Tracking Built on the Esri ArcGIS Platform Helping Prevent Another Yarnell Hill Tragedy
Supported by the Iridium Satellite Network 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
On June 30th 2013, 19 firefighters from Prescott, Arizona perished while working on the Yarnell Hill Fire. Since that time, little has been done to prevent it from happening again. Until now
The Challenge Behind the Project
The mission objective was relatively simple. Create a communications link between the firefighter and incident command that works anywhere on the planet, Guaranteed. Unfortunately, the mission plan proved to be a little more complex. We had to become experts at technology that hadnt been developed yet.
Bill KingCEO and Senior Design EngineerOur Mission Statement
A New Approach to and Old ProblemSince the first Roman fire brigades under Emperor Nero took the idea of organized firefighting from Marcus Crassus to form theVigilesin AD 60 and began to combat fires using bucket brigades and pumps, firefighting has cost lives.

Fire Management Planning
By importing SkyRouters GPS information into the GIS Fire Management Plan, Prometheus Shield creates an application program interface (API) that displays positions relative to the fire perimeter that can be configured to automatically alert Incident Command when a firefighter or other asset enters a hazardous area or is in the danger of being overrun.

Aerial Imaging Resources
Prometheus Shield is licensed to purchase satellite imaging using an Emergency Task Order (ETO). World-View 3 Short Wave Infrared Imagery (SWIR) will remove interference from cloud cover.We are contracted with FAA and Forest Service approved UAV operators to provide coordinated perimeter mapping updates on 2-hour intervals. In addition, UAV resources provide on-demand fire behavior imaging.Prometheus shield is programmed to accept streaming video from nearly any IP address anywhere.
