Fire agencies are not equipped to effectively combat “Fast Fires.”
Fires move faster and threaten communities more quickly than ever. But fire agencies are being asked to solve new problems with outdated tools.
OUR SOLUTION
XyloPlan is the only fire intelligence platform purpose-built for the fast-moving, wind-driven fires that cause city-scale loss.
XyloPlan gives fire agencies actionable intelligence to plan, prioritize, and defend mitigation decisions, both on the front line and to external stakeholders.
BENEFITS
Fire agencies are under increasing pressure to prevent catastrophic loss with limited budgets, growing risk, and intense public scrutiny.
XyloPlan turns complex fire risk into defensible, actionable plans leaders can execute and stand behind.
XyloPlan was purpose-built to identify and mitigate the growing threat of fast-moving, wind-driven Fast Fires that lead to city-scale destruction. Built on — and beyond — existing wildland and urban fire methodologies, XyloPlan identifies how fire pathways move through vegetative and urban fuels to produce catastrophic loss.
XyloPlan ranks the risks posed by both vegetation in the wildland and vulnerable structures in neighborhoods to show where mitigation can deliver the greatest impact. This helps agencies allocate resources efficiently, prioritize inspections, and implement mitigations that reduce risk before fires threaten lives and property.
By simulating fire behavior under worst-case conditions, XyloPlan shows how fires are likely to spread across landscapes and neighborhoods, highlighting high-speed corridors and critical intervention points. These visuals help teams plan effective suppression strategies and make wildfire risk easier to explain to boards, leadership, and the public.
Co-founded by a fire chief and a former wildland firefighter, XyloPlan is grounded in both operational realities and scientific precision. XyloPlan translates risk data into actionable, defensible recommendations. It shows where mitigation efforts — home hardening, vegetation management, or defensible space — will be most effective, allowing agencies to confidently act and gain stakeholder buy-in.
XyloPlan tracks the outcomes of mitigation efforts, comparing baseline conditions to post-action scenarios. Agencies can measure avoided ignitions avoided ignitions and delayed fire arrival to prove the effectiveness of investments and justify budgets or grants.
XyloPlan provides a shared, science-backed framework that aligns fire agencies, insurers, and communities around the same risk insights. Coordinated understanding ensures that mitigation actions are prioritized, measurable, and defensible, improving overall resilience.

This wildfire mitigation analysis has far exceeded expectations - I think it’s a disruption to the industry. This is the first time I have had mitigation plan recommendations that are actionable and manageable, rather than just theoretical scientific analysis.

The analysis gave us specific, rank and file priorities for our mitigation plan. If we are going to be responsible members of local government, spending tax payer dollars in a way that’s not wasteful, this prioritized plan helps us do that.
