For over 20 years, we’ve been at the forefront of wildfire intelligence, helping businesses, insurers, and communities manage and understand their wildfire risk. Our vision? A world where the risk of wildfire is no longer a gamble, but a manageable challenge.
About RedZone
“Being able to work in a job that combines geospatial technologies and emergency management is a literal dream come true for me. When I founded RedZone, my goal was to bring mapping technology to those who needed it most, frontline firefighters. Today, RedZone continues to fulfill this mission by aggregating natural disaster response data and providing a platform for companies to easily understand and develop the appropriate response to protect their assets.”

Our Core Values
Our unshakable values. They’re the fire in our bellies and the compass that guides us every single day, especially during fire season and high-impact wildfire events.
PUTTING INTEGRITY FIRST
We believe integrity is the foundation of strong relationships and lasting success, so we don’t just talk the talk. We walk the walk. Honesty and transparency are our non-negotiables, and we build trust by doing what’s right, even when no one’s watching.
CALM UNDER FIRE
When the heat is on and wildland fire threatens, we stay cool. Pressure doesn’t rattle us: we thrive in the chaos, delivering clarity and action when it’s needed most. Our steady approach, guided by the latest wildfire detection methods, means we make smart decisions quickly for positive outcomes even in the toughest circumstances.
ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE
“Can’t” isn’t in our vocabulary. We’re the people who see obstacles and opportunities and challenges as puzzles waiting to be solved, tapping into burn probability models and advanced wildfire detection tools for data-driven problem solving. Dependable, accountable, and rock-solid, we’re the team you can set your watch by.
COMMITTED TO SERVICE
Driven by purpose, we’re here to support communities, save assets, or provide wildfire risk assessment data to reduce vulnerability before, during, and after disasters
ALWAYS INNOVATING
Like birds building nests or salmon swimming upstream, we’re hardwired to solve problems with tech, improving wildfire risk scoring systems, interactive maps, and tools for risk reduction. We dream up smarter products, automate the tedious stuff, and turn complex challenges into elegant solutions.
RedZone Impact
Serving the Community
RedZone is actively involved in the wildfire firefighter community. Our staff volunteers as emergency responders for local Incident Management Teams and make themselves available to respond to disasters in our communities and regions.
During the 2013 Boulder Flood, RedZone created a free iOS app that allowed local first responders to navigate through the devastating floods that spilled over Boulder Creek and the surrounding watersheds and communities.
RedZone also sponsors and operates two websites that benefit the firefighter community:
is a free and open forum for firefighters to discuss everything wildfire, from health and safety to active incidents.
is a website dedicated to the wildland firefighters who gave their lives fighting wildfires.
Looking Ahead
Every year, wildfires get bigger and more devastating, causing record numbers of home loss. This makes it harder for homeowners to get insurance and for insurance companies to understand the risk involved. Insurance companies have also had to adapt to the fast-moving nature of wildfire events and the devastation they cause, forcing them to become more responsive and innovative.
Since 2002, RedZone has always been able to step up and proactively meet the needs of our clients. Moving forward, we are poised to meet the challenges in the decade ahead and we will continue to:
- share our wildfire real-time intelligence with anyone involved or impacted by a wildfire.
- provide the highest accuracy and reliability on the market.
- create innovative solutions to help our clients monitor and protect their assets.
- ensure our clients have a comprehensive understanding of effective wildfire strategies and risk mitigation.
- alert our clients a wildfire event is happening before it even hits the news.
- serve as the voice for insurance carriers to stay connected to their clientele to keep them informed during a time of crisis.
