We're excited to join UF AI Days next week!
We can't wait to see you all there.
FNN™ recently had the opportunity to sit down with @UFAICenter to share our story.

FNN™ takes the spotlight in the @ciotimes.
Not all lightning is equal. See how FNN™ finds the strikes that matter most.

157 new fires in one week, and most of them you’ll never hear about.
That’s the point.
FNN™ works toward the same goal: flagging the riskiest lightning strikes within seconds, so crews can find fires before they make headlines.
Not every wildfire makes the news. Many are stopped before they have a chance to grow.
While California may be experiencing fewer wildfire starts, new fires are still igniting every day.
Over the past week, 157 new wildfires started across the state. CAL FIRE’s goal is to contain 95% of wildfires at 10 acres or less. Meeting that goal takes a fast response and decisive action before flames have a chance to spread.
📸 The Oct. 12 Rock Fire is one example. @CALFIRENEU and partner agencies responded and contained the fire at just 1.5 acres, preventing it from growing larger.
These smaller fires are a reminder of why every response matters, even when it doesn't make the headlines.

Santa Ana winds can turn a dry, windy day into a serious wildfire threat.
Understanding the conditions that increase fire risk is key to helping communities prepare. 🔥
Our most remote office: no desk, no AC, no one on site. Just a view. 🏔
FNN™ stations like this one pinpoint lightning strikes in millionths of a second, right on the mountain, so crews get alerts in seconds.

Thank you to the lineworkers working around the clock to restore power after Hurricane Isaias.
We’re grateful for your dedication to Florida’s communities.
16,000 linemen ready to roll.
Thank you to every crew preparing to restore power after Isaias, and to @FLSERT for keeping Florida ready.
Stay safe, and follow official guidance as Isaias approaches. 🌀
🚨 The State Emergency Response Team is hard at work making final preparations ahead of Hurricane #Isaias.
Our teams continue coordinating with state & local partners, staging critical resources & positioning personnel to support impacted communities.
▪️ 3 million shelf-stable meals
▪️ 1.1 million bottles of water
▪️ 30 Points of Distribution
▪️ 16,000 linemen ready to restore power to Florida communities
Florida is prepared & our teams stand ready to respond! 💪
Isaias is now a Cat 3 hurricane.
Remember, just because you’re not directly on the coast doesn’t mean you won’t feel its effects.
Stay safe, and stay tuned to your local news for updates.
BREAKING: Isaias is now a Category 3 hurricane, the first of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season and the first in the Atlantic Basin since Hurricane Melissa last October. READ MORE: weather.com/2026/10/09/storm…
Isaias is now a Category 1 hurricane.
Do hurricanes produce lightning? ⚡ Not as often as you might think.
But when lightning appears in the eyewall, it can offer clues about what’s happening inside the storm.
FNN™’s Dr. @MattSitkowski explains: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
Isaias is now a hurricane.
If you're along the Gulf Coast, follow @FLSERT, the National Hurricane Center, and your local officials, and finish your preparations now.
🚨 10/8: Last night, Tropical Storm #Isaias strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane.
Finalize your disaster plans & continue to follow all instructions from local officials.

Everyone’s talking about AI. Ours listens to lightning. ⚡
It picks out the few strikes most likely to start a fire or damage power lines, and alerts utilities in seconds.
We're keeping an eye on this one.
@NHC_Atlantic says a tropical depression is likely to form in the Gulf over the next day or so, with heavy rain possible for Florida and the Gulf Coast later this week.

Distance isn't safety. So, when lightning strikes remote terrain, tracking holdover fires is a race against time.
Partnering with leaders like @CAL_FIRE, FNN™ delivers 100ft precision in under 40 seconds to spot and suppress fires early.

During periods of high fire risk, a few simple actions can help protect your home from flying embers, which can travel a mile or more ahead of a wildfire.
🏠 Clear leaves, needles, and debris from roofs and gutters.
🔥 Move flammable items at least 5 feet from your home.
🚪 Close garage doors and pet doors.
🪟 Close windows.
When fire weather arrives, do an ember check and prepare your home to resist ember intrusion.
Wildfire prevention depends on more than simply detecting strike time. The key is knowing which strikes pose the greatest risk. Discover how our HRL™ Detector is streamlining lightning-driven wildfire risk mitigation.
