Why Texas Timberland Owners Need Fire Monitoring

Texas leads the nation in wildfire frequency. East Texas pine plantations, hardwood bottomlands, and mixed timber tracts face elevated fire risk year-round — driven by drought, wind, and dry lightning. Most private landowners find out about a fire when a neighbor calls or when it's already too late.

Texas Wildfire Risk Factors

TimberSentry was built specifically for private landowners like you — not agencies, not corporations. For less than the cost of a bag of deer corn, your timber stand gets watched every minute of every day.

Three Steps to 24/7 Fire Watch

01

Draw Your Texas Timber Stand

Draw your boundary on our interactive map or upload a KMZ/KML file from Google Earth. Acreage is calculated automatically. Takes about 60 seconds.

02

Satellites Watch 24/7

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 industrial sources and solar glint common in Texas.

03

Get Alerted by Email

When a confirmed fire cluster is detected near your land, you receive a plain-English email: distance in miles, fire intensity, detection count, and a clear location description. No jargon.

Common Questions from Texas Landowners

Will TimberSentry work for my East Texas pine plantation?

Yes. Whether your timber is loblolly pine, shortleaf, hardwood mix, or bottomland, TimberSentry monitors all forest types. Just draw your boundary and you're watched 24/7.

How quickly will I get a fire alert?

From satellite scan to email alert, typical latency is under 10 minutes. Emergency-level fires bypass quiet-hour rules and alert immediately.

Does it work for small timber tracts in Texas?

Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 acres. The Individual plan covers up to 500 acres for $9.99/month — suitable for most private Texas timber owners.

What about prescribed burns?

TimberSentry flags all fire clusters — prescribed burns and wildfires both. You get an alert either way, which lets you verify whether it's a planned burn. You can configure quiet hours during burn seasons.

Is there a contract?

No. Month-to-month only. Cancel anytime.
