The ALERTWest team is looking forward to connecting with city leaders from across the country at National League of Cities 2025 City Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah November 19-21!

We’ll be at booth #1114, showcasing how our AI wildfire detection and all-hazard situational awareness platform is helping communities strengthen public safety, protect critical infrastructure, and enhance emergency response.

If you’re attending, stop by to meet the team and learn how cities and counties across 12 states are leveraging ALERTWest technology to expand visibility, enhance coordination, and better protect their residents.

See you at the Summit!

November 8 marks the anniversary of two of California’s most devastating wildfires, the and the , both igniting on this day in 2018.

The Camp Fire and Woolsey Fire left lasting marks on California’s communities and landscapes, reminding us of how quickly lives can change when wildfire strikes.

These tragedies remain a powerful reminder of what is at stake and why we must keep strengthening our ability to detect and respond to wildfire quickly and effectively.

Many members of our ALERTWest team lived through the Camp Fire. Their experiences continue to shape our work and strengthen our resolve to support those who protect lives, communities, and landscapes across the country.

Today, we remember those lost, support those who continue to rebuild, and appreciate those working every day to make a difference going forward.

The Greater Santa Fe Fireshed Coalition and the Forest Stewards Guild are making important strides in wildfire safety, and we’re proud to see their leadership highlighted in the The Santa Fe New Mexican.

As Jonathan Frenzen shared, these tools are helping strengthen response efforts and give fire managers critical minutes when every moment matters.

ALERTWest is excited to support these partners as the platform grows and helps strengthen wildfire response across New Mexico.
