FireHub is the operator companion for the FireHawk fire detection network — real-time wildfire alerts delivered straight to your phone the moment a tower camera spots smoke or
flame.
Built for forestry teams, plantation operators, and emergency response crews, FireHub turns a network of remote detection cameras into a coordinated response platform.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Real-time fire alerts — push notifications hit your lock screen within seconds of detection
• Camera-based detection — see live imagery from the tower that picked up the fire, with auto-preset framing on the source quadrant
• Bearing triangulation — when two or more cameras see the same fire, sight-lines on the in-app map narrow down its location for response teams
• Fire history — the last 48 hours of fires across your access scope, sorted by time, with age badges that update live
• Camera & weather coverage — see what each tower's looking at and the local Fire Danger Index for that area
• Pilot view — turn-by-turn navigation to a fire (Google Maps or Waze) with live bearing + distance from your current position
• Custom alert tones — pick from four fire-themed sounds (Bell, Klaxon, Alarm, Siren) so FireHub notifications are unmistakeable on the lock screen
• Sign in with Google — one tap, no password to forget
• Seamless web handoff — "Open in Firehub" jumps straight into the full PWA dashboard, already signed in
DESIGNED FOR THE FIELD
FireHub is built for people working long shifts, often offline, often gloved. The interface is dark, large-text, and one-thumb navigable. Common actions (open Google Maps to the
fire, tap into the camera image, navigate as the responding pilot) are one tap from any fire row.
PRIVACY & DATA
FireHub uses your location only when you ask for navigation to a fire. Push tokens are stored against your user account to deliver alerts and are removed when you log out. We
don't share your data with third parties.
Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New: share buttons — share a fire, its detection history, or a camera preset as a web link that opens straight in the app for recipients who have it. New: pilots can switch the pilot-view map to heading-up (direction of travel up) with the HDG UP toggle. Better offline behaviour: a banner shows when your connection drops, the app keeps working on saved data, refreshes itself the moment the connection returns, and no longer sends existing users to onboarding after a flaky sign-in.
