SenseNet, a Vancouver-based company providing comprehensive, rapid wildfire detection solutions, announced that it has partnered with BluEarth Renewables (“BluEarth”), a leading, independent, power producer with wind, hydro, solar and storage facilities across North America, at one of its operating facilities.
SenseNet’s advanced fire detection technology integrates advanced sensors, cameras, AI algorithms, and real-time data analysis to provide accurate and early alerts to wildfire. The technology has been installed along a linear 20 kilometre stretch of transmission line across remote and topographically challenging land at BluEarth’s Tyson Creek Hydro Facility (“Tyson Creek”). This installation includes a comprehensive network of 60 sensors and two cameras (integrated with satellite) which can assist with early detection and notification of wildfires in the area.
“We are extremely excited to partner with BluEarth to provide early detection of wildfire,” says Hamed Noori, CEO of SenseNet. “This installation is unique, and first of its kind in the world as it features a linear sensor installation with low power, only one point of contact and mesh technology that can last for seven years.”

“It’s our passion to partner with leading companies like BluEarth to protect communities and the ecosystems they rely on by advancing technology for detection, response and management of increasingly severe wildfires,” says Hamed Noori, CEO and Co-founder of SenseNet, “Our proven integrated solution is unique in the world in terms of detection, speed and accuracy and can detect fires even in their smouldering phases when there is no flame or smoke signature. In this case, even remote areas can be safeguarded with an integrated, real-time, all-in-one solution.”
