A new chapter: FiSci is now open for business in the USA

Country-wide vegetation and fire scar data across America, and the Mitigate platform behind it.

Today marks a significant milestone in our journey at FiSci. Just fifteen months ago we set out with a clear, long-term ambition: to bring our fire management capabilities to the United States. Today, that vision is a reality.

FiSci is officially open for business in the USA, and we’ve done so with a release that changes how land managers and businesses can approach wildfire risk.

A new frontier: country-wide fire intelligence

This isn’t just about entering a new market. It’s about bringing a new level of data and intelligence to a country facing unprecedented wildfire challenges. Our flagship product, the Mitigate tool, is now powered by new country-wide data sets for vegetation and fire scars across all of America.

That is a substantial leap. Whether your assets are in the dense forests of Oregon, the rangelands of Nevada or the rugged terrain of California, you can now access the same granular, evidence-based analysis that has been foundational to our work in Australia. We are transforming vast, complex landscapes into understandable, actionable intelligence.

Turning data into action

At its core, FiSci is a strategic planning company that helps land managers and businesses move from a reactive to a proactive mindset. The Mitigate tool is more than a map; it’s a decision-making platform that lets you:

  • Assess risk with precision. Understand your exposure and identify your most vulnerable assets. The modelling goes beyond simple maps to show how a fire would behave and where it poses the greatest threat.
  • Plan proactively. Develop targeted mitigation strategies. From a new firebreak to a large-scale prescribed burn, simulations let you test and validate plans before you break ground.
  • Build confidence and secure buy-in. Demonstrate your plan visually to every stakeholder, from neighbouring landholders to internal finance teams. Showing how a proposed investment directly reduces risk makes the case for proactive management undeniable.

A shared challenge, a shared future

The threat of fire doesn’t stop at a fence line, a county line or a state line. It’s a shared challenge that demands a shared response. Country-wide data lets us facilitate discussions between private landowners, public agencies and forestry operators, helping to build a collective strategy for community-wide resilience.

We’re ready to bring our capabilities to the American market, and we look forward to partnering with you to build a more resilient future.
