Surgical Vegetation Management.
Stop trimming blindly. Firebird is the intelligence layer that turns your distribution grid into an active vegetation monitor, detecting microscopic electrical signatures before they cause a fault.

Our Solution
The Problem
The Precursor Gap
Between a branch touching a line and a full-blown fault, there's a critical window of opportunity. Today's grid infrastructure is blind to it.
$6B+
Annual vegetation management spend by U.S. utilities
Most of it wasted on calendar-based cycle trimming that clears miles of right-of-way, hoping to catch the branches that matter.
Reactive Only
Traditional fault indicators
Existing relays and reclosers don't detect a branch until it has already caused a high-current fault or outage — far too late.
#1 Cause
Vegetation contact drives grid failures
It's the leading cause of nuisance trips, momentary outages (SAIFI), and wildfire ignitions across distribution networks.
The Firebird Advantage
Dispatch forestry crews only to the spans with active physical contacts. Stop wasting money on blind cycle trimming.
Clear hazards before they cause momentary or sustained outages. Significantly improve your SAIDI and SAIFI scores.
Neutralize ignition risks at the 'precursor' stage, long before an arcing fault occurs.
