Control a net of drones to intercept flying embers before they ignite palm trees, pine trees, and suburban homes. Maintain energy, manage wind, and survive the Ember Swarm!
Each drone movement and strong wind conditions consume energy. When energy drops below 50%, a fuel truck arrives to recharge. Avoid grounding by conserving power.
If your score is high and wind speeds rise, fire tornadoes may spawn. If they hit your net, the game ends immediately with the warning: "Mamma told you not to chase tornados."
When you win or lose, click 🔁 Try Again to reload the simulation and face the Ember Swarm again.
Developed as part of the FRED (First Responder Ember Drone) project.

FireSim is more than a game—it's a simulation of a patented, real-world solution to one of nature's fiercest threats: wildfires.
Based on U.S. Patent US 11,975,224 B2, invented by Bradley L. Bartz, FireSim models the operational strategy of FRED—the First Responder Ember Drone. The game educates players on aerial firefighting strategies using UAV-controlled netting systems designed to capture and extinguish fireborne embers before they ignite new fires.
The patented technology integrates fire-resistant mesh netting, AI-driven UAV flight systems, onboard suppressant delivery, and even lifting kites for increased coverage and endurance. These elements are not just imagined—they are engineered solutions, now granted legal protection as a novel wildfire defense system.
FireSim is a stepping stone toward real deployment: it allows us to test scenarios, develop swarm AI behavior, and visualize the effectiveness of ember interception. As gameplay evolves, so too does the machine learning engine that will power the next generation of real-world heavy-lift autonomous drones tasked with saving forests, homes, and lives.
