FireVision is a wildfire intelligence platform from Opal AI Inc., a small company in the Los Angeles area (the SBIR register lists eight employees and a first award in 2022). It builds one picture of communities, infrastructure, vegetation and terrain from satellite, aerial, drone and street-level imagery, lidar, GIS layers, weather and field observations, then ranks risk and recommends actions such as inspections, vegetation management and resource placement.

The company pitches it to electric utilities (circuit-level risk ranking and public safety power shutoff planning), fire agencies (shared situational picture, time-to-impact and evacuation context) and insurers (parcel-level scoring and portfolio exposure). A 2025 NASA SBIR Phase II award of $899,845, titled "FireVision: An AI-Powered Decision-Support Platform Leveraging NASA Earth Science Data for Wildfire Risk, Mitigation, and Response", funds extending the platform's fuel maps, fire potential indices and fire spread simulations to wildland-urban interface areas, with testing in California and Texas.

It is a commercial product offered by demo request; the pages read do not say how it is hosted or what it costs, and name no customers.

Status: offered commercially as of 2026, with the NASA-funded extension under way.
