Team @paladinworks went to visit with the intl. assoc. of fire chiefs this week to share our wildfire tactical ops aid off to fire service leadership.
The main finding? Firefighters need tactical decision aids to cut through the noise for better decisions, that’s Paladin.

When the worst case wildfire happens, how are you gaming out a winning response?
With Paladin, you have the answer in seconds, before an ignition ever even happens.
#paladinworks#paladin#wildfire#firetech
One of my favorite things about client demos of Paladin is that clients get to keep a game plan of responding to a real world wildfire scenario as a souvenir.👌🏼
⚠️How do you respond to the worst case scenario in your first due area? With Paladin, you can have an answer before the ignition happens.
🔥Booking demos now. Drop a DM to me or @paladinworks to see the future wildfire response tactics today.

Everyday I wake up giddy knowing we’re building the platform that can turn the tide on the wildfire crisis.
Paladin is the first heads up display for wildland firefighters, helping them save towns from burning. 🔥
#wildfire#paladinworks@paladinworks
This is Chris Paulus, he retired from @CAL_FIRE after 50 years of protecting Nevada County, he’s now a burn boss for the local prescribed fire alliance and he’s one of the major contributors to @paladinworks
Paladin is built to give every incident commander the same level of tactical intuition as long seasoned experts like Chris. This makes early stage wildfire response winnable. This is what saves towns.
#paladinworks
The 3 most destructive CA wildfires each burned only ~5,000 acres before town was destroyed.
They weren’t megafires. They were initial attack escapes.
Local crews are first on scene; often fighting blind in downslope windstorms. By the time the cavalry arrives, the town is gone.
Paladin is the tactical edge to lay out an attack plan that makes wildfires winnable in the first 12 hours.

Behind every successful initial attack response to a wildfire is an incident commander constantly gaming out the worst case scenarios in their first due area.
Incredibly dense and unstructured knowledge base that’s keeping us safe without us even realizing it.
#wildfire #knowwildfire #paladinworks
The outcomes to the biggest wildfires in history came down to the first 6 hours.
This is why our mission is advance initial attack. Make the first 6 hours effective and you save the town.
We’re the initial attack company. 🔥

When you can see the future, you can game out your wildfire response,
When you can game out your response, you win the fight in the first moments.
Paladin gives you a winning edge in initial attack.

Our mission is growing! We’re looking for a software engineer to work on @paladinworks (prototype focus)
Additional interest in design/art, advanced math (riemannian geometry + nonlinear dynamics), and spirit for adventure desired.
Send people my way if you know them.
Paladin is the initial attack company, solving wildfire at the earliest stage.
Fire danger gets called over the radio twice a day.
But fire behavior changes by the hour. The Smokey the Bear sign outside of the station doesn’t give the full story.
Here’s the Burning Index over southern Nevada today.
(Blue = low, red = high danger)
Fuels heat. Humidity drops. Winds shift.
Suddenly, it’s a different fire.
Tools like Paladin keep firefighters ahead of the risk; without slowing them down.

These guys don’t have supercomputers.
So we built Paladin to work without one.
Risk, initial attack, situational awareness, all in one place.
Join us out in the field. Know Wildfires.

Watching the golden hills breath!
Grass fuels are looking pretty dry out there in the Diablo Range today but luckily recovering in the evening
