Wildfire is a year-round threat across North Carolina's mountains and coastal plains. TimberSentry watches your timber stand 24/7 using satellite sensors and emails you the moment a confirmed fire is detected near your boundary — under 10 minutes from detection to your inbox.
North Carolina has 18 million acres of forestland — a critical resource for the state's economy and ecosystem. Wildfires occur year-round, from spring dry seasons to winter leaf fires and fall drought. Mountain fires spread fast; coastal plains fires can burn for days undetected. Most landowners rely on neighbors or luck to find out about a fire in time.
TimberSentry gives you the visibility you need — whether you own loblolly pine, hardwood, or mixed timberland across North Carolina's varied landscapes.
Draw your boundary on our interactive map or upload a KMZ/KML file. Acreage is calculated automatically. Takes about 60 seconds.
GOES and VIIRS satellite sensors scan your land every 5 minutes. Every detection runs through a 4-level confirmation pipeline to eliminate false alarms from agricultural burning and industrial sources common in NC.
When a confirmed fire is detected near your land, you receive a plain-English email: distance in miles, fire intensity, and clear location description. No jargon, no confusion.
Multiple satellite platforms scan continuously, day and night, so emerging heat signatures are caught early.
False alarms filtered, signals must persist, spatial clustering required before any alert fires.
Distance in miles, fire intensity, detection count. No satellite jargon.
Daily 375m resolution passes confirm or dismiss detections before escalation.
Non-urgent alerts held until 6 AM local time. Critical threats delivered immediately.
Live dashboard showing your stands, active clusters, detection points, and full alert history.
Every plan includes the full fire detection pipeline. Start free, upgrade when you need more coverage.
