When wildfires erupt across steep, remote terrain, cellular networks are unreliable when connectivity is needed most. For incident commanders, logistics teams, and safety officers, losing visibility into the location of crews, equipment, and medical resources is not just an operational problem - it is a life-safety crisis. This webinar explores how satellite technology is transforming wildfire response, and what it means for the agencies and organizations on the front lines.
Join Claudia Smith, Globalstar, and John Aguirre, Florian GPS Tracking, on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 am CST as they walk through a real deployment from the 2025 Dillon Fire in California, where SPOT Trace devices and the SPOT My Globalstar platform gave interagency teams the situational awareness they needed to respond faster, coordinate smarter, and protect their people.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why cellular-based GPS tracking breaks down in wildfire environments and how satellite connectivity fills the gap across engines, hand crews, dozers, medics, and REMS teams
- How the SPOT My Globalstar dashboard enabled real-time geofencing, drop point logging, and dynamic routing during two live medical emergencies at the Dillon Fire
- How automated location and time logging supports contractor accountability and protects incident budgets
Whether you manage fire response operations, support emergency preparedness planning, or are evaluating satellite IoT solutions for your customers, this session will show you what modern resource accountability looks like in the field and why it matters when seconds count.
