Inspiration

The US spends nearly $14 billion a year on fire simulation training, and a single burn building costs upwards of $1 million to construct. Every year, firefighters suffer over eight thousand injuries during training alone. And even after all of that investment and risk, you still can't simulate the real buildings where tragedies actually happen. Your home, your school, your hospital. The ones crew members actually respond to.

When a building catches fire, firefighters make life-or-death decisions in seconds with incomplete information and extreme pressure. Fire spread, structural stability, evacuation paths, personnel deployment, all estimated in real time, inside one human brain. We asked: What if responders could step off the truck already holding a full, AI-generated incident picture of the actual building in front of them?

Orca exists to give firefighters clarity when seconds matter most.

What It Does

Orca lets anyone simulate a natural tragedy for any building on Earth. We built it to help firefighters and emergency responders prepare for real scenarios in real locations, not generic training props, to help them save millions of future lives.

You go to the dashboard, click any building on the map, and type in a simulation to run. Orca creates a world model of that building, both exterior and interior, using Google Street View imagery and geospatial data. Within minutes, you get a full 3D Gaussian-splat reconstruction of the building, with the simulation overlaid.

From there, our agent orchestration layer deploys AI agents into that world model. These agents roam freely across the building's exterior and interior, collaborating to analyze the incident. Independent agent teams assess fire severity, structural integrity, evacuation routing, and personnel deployment, then synthesize their findings into consensus outputs rather than isolated predictions.

What comes out is an annotated world model. It's a living, data-rich simulation with actionable labels designed so that if a first responder walked into the room and looked at it, they'd understand exactly what they need to do, exactly where they shouldn’t go, and the most critical things to know about the situation. These annotated models get cached back into our map for departments to access again.

How We Built It

World Model Pipeline. We pull 360-degree imagery from Google Street View, along with interior images and geospatial data, for the target building. Because these source images aren't simulation-ready, we run AI image enhancement to incorporate how the simulation scenario would actually look in the environment. We chain this generation so each enhanced image stays consistent with the ones before it. These enhanced images then feed into World Labs to generate the 3D world model.

Frontend. Built with Next.js, Mapbox for the map and building selection, and React Three Fiber with SparkJS to render the world model and simulation as an interactive 3D scene. WebSockets stream real-time agent outputs to both the dashboard and the 3D view simultaneously.

Agent Orchestration. We host all inference on Modal for fast speeds. Multiple AI agents, powered by Llama Vision and GPT-5 Mini, are deployed into the world model with free navigation. They analyze the scene independently, then aggregate confidence scores and synthesize outputs through Redis-based state sharing. They react to and build on each other's findings rather than producing isolated reports. The result is consensus-driven labels that are way more reliable than any single agent's output.

Solana. To encourage users to join the agent orchestration network we pay out users to join the network and run data annotation tasks.

Challenges We Ran Into

Building the world model. This was honestly the hardest part. We needed to figure out the best exterior images to pull from Google Street View and combine them with interior imagery. Because the world model builds on pre-existing images, we had to AI-enhance them to reflect the simulation scenario and make the image generation contextually aware of previous outputs, so the simulation looked coherent across the model.

Agent orchestration speed. Early on, sequential execution was painfully slow, and the agents weren't properly depending on each other's outputs. We tuned Modal to be more responsive and implemented Redis-based polling alongside WebSockets to enable agents to communicate and synthesize in near real time.

What We Learned

Labels over raw metrics. Instead of outputting graphs and numbers, we focused on producing labels that genuinely matter to the person reading them. The goal was always: if a first responder looked at this, they'd immediately know what to do. That framing shaped every design decision we made.

Multi-agent synthesis reduces error. Having multiple agents analyze the same scene, aggregate confidence scores, and react to each other's findings significantly reduces hallucinations, especially when inputs are partially obscured by smoke and debris. Consensus-driven synthesis is just fundamentally more trustworthy than isolated agent outputs.

What's Next for Orca

Right now, we've been testing extensively with fire simulations, and it's been going great. The next step is to expand to other emergencies, such as tsunamis, tornadoes, and earthquakes, and to scale beyond individual buildings to larger areas.

We believe in this so much that we reached out to the Illinois State Fire Marshal's Office about using Orca to train the next generation of firefighters. Robotics labs building search-and-rescue robots need environments like ours to test in. And we've spoken with an OpenAI engineer who confirmed interest in potentially purchasing our annotated world model data to improve their models.

Orca is building the data layer that's missing for emergency responders and for the AI systems that will work alongside them. There's so much room to grow here, and we're just getting started.

We're excited to announce that Orca is officially done! :D

Our team built a platform that lets firefighters and emergency responders simulate fires in any real building on Earth using AI world models and agent orchestration. Click a building on the map, get a full 3D reconstruction, and run simulations, no burn building required.

Would love to hear what you all think. This was an incredible build and we're just getting started.
