Intelligent wildfire management

Wildfires are one of the most costly and hardest to predict risks in Spain. Osprean applies spread simulation based on fuel model, coordinates the chain of command in real time during operations, and keeps the population in affected areas informed.

Reference case

Burgohondo wildfire (Ávila), July 2026

The most serious forest fire in Ávila's recent history: more than 35,000 people evacuated and more than 10,000 ordered to shelter in place in towns such as Burgohondo, El Barraco, Navaluenga, Cebreros, Piedralaves and La Adrada. Tree cover will take 10 to 15 years to regenerate; the most urgent phase, hydrological containment and ash retention, is decided in the first three. This is the plan Osprean proposes for the affected area.

Area affected
37,818 ha
Forest area burned
33,545 ha
Wooded area affected
27,600 ha
People evacuated
35,000+

Remote sensing and official records. Plan based on Osprean's recovery proposal for the affected area.

The recovery plan (36 months)

  1. 1

    Months 1 to 3

    Launch and damage quantification

    Cloud deployment of Osprean recovery, integration of the post-fire LiDAR map to quantify damage objectively and launch of a Virtual Emergency Centre shared by all municipalities, with execution control and spending traceability from day one.

  2. 2

    Months 4 to 12

    Digital twin and prevention

    Rollout of Osprean prevention with each municipality's inventory of resources, vulnerabilities and hazards, a digital twin of the area with fire spread simulation in the wildland-urban interface, and sensors integrated into the hydrant network.

  3. 3

    Year 2

    Digital management of the recovery

    Tracking of each phase (soil retention and log barriers, removal of burned timber, reforestation), work orders and certification of contractors, sensors in the forest stands, and municipal wildfire plans (PAMIF) turned into interactive tools.

  4. 4

    Year 3

    Handover and municipal autonomy

    Approval of the PAMIFs by the municipal councils, training municipal staff to run the platform fully on their own, and transfer of the model so that other municipalities can replicate it.

No technology lock-in: all mapping, the digital twin and the plans can be exported in open formats (GeoJSON, SHP, PDF) and via API for 112, and municipalities keep using the platform with support after the project ends.

Frequently asked questions

How does Osprean help prevent wildfires?

By simulating spread by area and keeping resources operational through periodic inspection, to prioritise prevention where the risk is highest.

What role does artificial intelligence play in wildfire response?

It analyses terrain and weather variables to anticipate fire behaviour and support command decision-making.
