IQ FireWatch installed in the City of Redding (CA, USA)

"The system helps me sleep at night", the Electric Utility Director for the City of Redding, California, says about our IQ FireWatch system installed in the city. Because California has large areas of forest as well as many wildland urban interfaces (WUI) that are affected by severe wildfires every year, cities also need special protection.
To ensure the protection of lives, property and forests during day and night, the city chose our system as part of its Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
Watch the video below to learn more about the use of our automatic early fire detection system.

In addition, the program supervisor for Redding Electric Utility, Shawn Avery, explains how the IQ FireWatch system works and where it came from in the following podcast. It also shows how proud he is that the City of Redding is one of the first cities in the country to use the IQ FireWatch technology for early fire detection.
