TracPlus, a provider of mission-critical intelligence for aerial firefighting, has announced its partnership with CAL FIRE to launch the CAL FIRE Aviation Tracking and Information System (CATIS), a next-generation aviation management platform designed to support the agency’s expanding operations and evolving mission needs.
Powered by TracPlus’s FireFlyte software, CATIS replaces the agency’s internally developed legacy system with a faster, more flexible and insight-driven solution.
CATIS replaces CAL FIRE’s legacy Aviation Information Management System with a more flexible and scalable platform that streamlines data entry, enhances situational awareness and supports smarter resource deployment. With a proven track record of leading the charge in wildfire management, CAL FIRE continues to set the standard for public safety agencies by evolving its operations to meet new demands.
This upgrade is designed to reflect CAL FIRE‘s continued leadership in wildfire management and commitment to operational excellence.
With real-time dashboards, flexible reporting and analytics, CATIS intends to deliver a scalable foundation for the agency’s future, transforming how aerial operations management is conducted across dispatch, tracking and performance evaluation.
The system is built to grow with the agency’s future needs, laying the foundation for more advanced analytics, automation and insight generation.
Todd O’Hara, Chief Marketing & Product Officer at TracPlus said: “CAL FIRE is at the forefront of wildfire aviation operations and their move to replace an in-house legacy system with CATIS demonstrates their commitment to continued excellence.
“As California faces increasingly complex wildfires, CAL FIRE recognized that modernizing their aviation tracking and information systems would directly enhance their ability to protect communities.
“Built on TracPlus’ FireFlyte platform, CATIS transforms how they capture and utilize critical operational data- from real-time aircraft positioning to comprehensive mission reporting- giving their teams the insights needed to deploy resources more effectively during emergency responses.”
By choosing a cloud-based solution with proven success at agencies like Australia’s NAFC and New Zealand’s FENZ, CAL FIRE gains both immediate operational benefits and a platform that will evolve with its future needs.
