## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2019, Fire Aside, Inc. operates as a software development company offering software and tools for wildfire prevention. In July 2023, the firm raised seed funding led by investor Convective Capital. The firm’s platform, as of July 2023, serves 25 fire agencies and is used in over 75 municipalities, and covers more than 1 million residences across 3 states. 

The company offers a platform that helps communities adapt to wildfire risks and protects homes and infrastructure from the rising threat of climate change. The company also engages and motivates residents to take action in reducing wildfire risks. Fire Aside's software suite includes products for defensible space evaluations, fuel removal, and resilience grant management. The Defensible Space Inspection (DSI) software, developed in collaboration with wildfire mitigation experts, offers user-friendly, field-tested tools for home evaluations. The DSI reports provide prioritized risk-based actions tailored to each property, driving resident engagement, and providing consistent ground truth data. ChipperDay, another product by Fire Aside, supports agencies and residents with an online reservation system for fuel removal events. This scalable solution optimizes route management, simplifies resident registration, and enhances resident engagement. Moreover, Fire Aside's Grants module supports FEMA, State, and Local programs, making it easier for residents to apply for grants related to wildfire mitigation. The software helps automate the grant application workflow, ensuring residents can easily access funding for home hardening and defensible space projects.
