Out Of Control Brush Fire

Case Study: The Out-of-Control Brush Fire

The Scenario: High winds and dry conditions turn a small brush fire into a fast-moving threat toward a local "gut" (subdivision). Responders have less than 30 minutes to clear the area.

The Challenge: Volunteer firefighters are stretched thin. They don't have the manpower to go door-to-door at 150 homes to verify everyone has evacuated.

The Intel-Alert Solution:

• Two-Way Check-In: An emergency evacuation order is sent with a prompt: "Reply 1 if you have evacuated safely."
• Live Dashboard: As residents reply, the Incident Commander sees a live map of the neighborhood turning from Red to Green.
• Outcome: Responders identify 12 households that haven't "Checked In." Search and Rescue teams are sent directly to those 12 addresses, saving 20 minutes of door-knocking and potentially saving lives.
