Wildfire moves fast in East Texas. TimberSentry watches your timber stand 24/7 using satellite sensors and emails you the moment a confirmed fire cluster is detected near your boundary — under 10 minutes from detection to your inbox.
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.
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.
Draw your boundary on our interactive map or upload a KMZ/KML file from Google Earth. 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 industrial sources and solar glint common in Texas.
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.
Multiple satellite platforms scan continuously, day and night, so emerging heat signatures are caught early.
Sun glints removed, industrial sources blacklisted, signals must persist 10 minutes, spatial clustering required before any alert fires.
Distance in miles, fire intensity (Small/Medium/Large), 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.
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.
From satellite scan to email alert, typical latency is under 10 minutes. Emergency-level fires bypass quiet-hour rules and alert immediately.
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.
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.
No. Month-to-month only. Cancel anytime.
Free plan. No credit card. Draw your boundary and the satellites take over.
