Lockheed Martin , PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), Salesforce and Wells Fargo announced the launch of EMBERPOINT TM LLC , a purpose-built venture that will integrate next-generation wildfire solutions to help first responders detect, prevent and fight catastrophic wildfires. This partnership will set a new standard in wildfire safety, enabling more progress than a single company can achieve alone.
EMBERPOINTTM will use artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and integrated command-and-control technologies to help first responders detect fires earlier, prevent their spread and enhance coordination for mitigation efforts. Agencies and utilities will gain access to proven, state-of-the-art systems without the burden of development costs, enabling communities to benefit from advanced, affordable wildfire prevention.
Lockheed Martin will contribute its cutting-edge layered approach to prediction and detection, as well as military-grade autonomous response and suppression capabilities, enabling firefighters to rapidly identify and directly intervene at the earliest stages of wildfire ignition.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company1, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, will bring deep wildfire mitigation experience, with proven layers of protection and a track record of deploying effective risk management programs across geographically-diverse communities. Contributions or information from Pacific Gas and Electric Company are subject to regulatory approval.
Salesforce will contribute to the digital foundation for EMBERPOINTTM, integrating disparate data streams into a unified, real-time response engine. Leveraging the power of Agentforce and Slack, Salesforce will enable seamless cross-organization coordination to accelerate wildfire response.
Wells Fargo is helping to fund the venture through a capital investment. The EMBERPOINTTM team and technologies will be built out in the coming months, targeting demonstrations in 2026.
