“What we are doing is we are tracking fire and it could be anywhere up to a hundred miles outside of your home. Right. And we will look at the location that fire relative to the location of your home. We run it through algorithms and you could activate your system manually through our app. You could track the fire through our app. You could activate the system through a switch on the controller, or you could opt in for automatic activation where our backend will sense a fire near your home. And if it is a fire that threatens your home or your business, it'll send you a push notification saying in 10 minutes, your system's going to activate. You could choose to accept it. You could decline it. If you are evacuating, it will just run.”
