User Guide

Everything you can do with Karst Firewall 5.0, in one place. Pick the guide that fits you — the public portal, or the operational cockpit used by control rooms and agencies.

The guide is published in English first and is being translated into all interface languages. Inside the operational cockpit, each screen also carries an inline “About this page” note.

Portal guide

The public portal and its tools — live risk, weather, air quality, early warning, wildfire history, the 3D twin and the simulator.

Operator guide

The reserved cockpit — monitoring, running fire-spread simulations, dispatching interventions, registries, analysis, administration and the AI assistants.

Getting started

Login & account, the dashboard, the navigation map of every screen, roles & profiles, and switching language.

Monitoring the territory

Maps, weather stations, IoT sensors & gateways, public cameras, air-quality stations, alerts, the Electronic-Nose layer and FWI history.

Read →

Log tables

Every *-log screen — audit, notification, technology, weather, air-quality, IoT-fallback and the legacy Influx log: what each records and how to read it.

Read →

How to run a simulation

The full tutorial: nowcast / scenario / replay, every run parameter, barrier policies, the run lifecycle, reading outputs, runs & 3D, the active-fire trigger and exports.

Read →

Simulating firekeeper / agency interventions

The dispatch decision-support flow: operational-site layer, ETA ranking, staging, the route picker, the dispatch modal and the animated response.

Read →

Field operations & registries

Field assets & maintenance, the operational registry (agencies, sites, vehicles, teams), incidents, and the historical intervention record.

Read →

Analysis & data

Statistics, historical wildfires, OSINT, drone approvals, air-quality impact, seismic context, EO progression, references, CBA and the accuracy benchmark.

Read →

Administration

Users & RBAC, reference data, alert configuration, translations, credentials, and the PyroWISE readiness / model-status / data-inventory health screens.

Read →

PyroTwin assistants (agentic)

The operator AI assistants — runs, findings and the action-approval queues.

Scientific research & results

The physical fire-spread model (Canadian FBP + Huygens wavefront), the Karst Fire Weather Index and its validated detection gains, ensemble probability, calibration against real wildfires, and the live implementation status.

Are you an operator? The operator guide is also available inside the cockpit — the help (?) button in the top bar opens it in-app.
