WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) announced the launch of EMBERPOINT^TMLLC, a purpose-built venture that will integrate next-generation wildfire solutions to help first responders detect, prevent and fight catastrophic wildfires. This partnership will set a new standard in wildfire safety, enabling more progress than a single company can achieve alone.

EMBERPOINT^TM will use artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and integrated command-and-control technologies to help first responders detect fires earlier, prevent their spread and enhance coordination for mitigation efforts. Agencies and utilities will gain access to proven, state-of-the-art systems without the burden of development costs, enabling communities to benefit from advanced, affordable wildfire prevention.

Lockheed Martin will contribute its cutting-edge layered approach to prediction and detection, as well as military-grade autonomous response and suppression capabilities, enabling firefighters to rapidly identify and directly intervene at the earliest stages of wildfire ignition.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company¹, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, will bring deep wildfire mitigation experience, with proven layers of protection and a track record of deploying effective risk management programs across geographically-diverse communities. Contributions or information from Pacific Gas and Electric Company are subject to regulatory approval.

Salesforce will contribute to the digital foundation for EMBERPOINT^TM, integrating disparate data streams into a unified, real-time response engine. Leveraging the power of Agentforce and Slack, Salesforce will enable seamless cross-organization coordination to accelerate wildfire response.

Wells Fargo is helping to fund the venture through a capital investment.

WHY IT MATTERS

The risk of wildfires is an escalating national crisis, with wildfires devastating communities, economies, and ecosystems across America and the world. Fires are growing larger, more intense and more frequent, causing billions of dollars in damage each year and placing increasing strain on utility customers and taxpayers.

As heroic firefighters put their lives on the line, further integrated technologies and data can help them respond faster and stay safer. This effort seeks to build upon the remarkable contributions of the firefighting community by equipping firefighters and emergency responders with advanced tools and coordinated solutions to more effectively combat wildfire threats.

LEADERSHIP INSIGHT

"It's time to change the way we think about wildfires and bring the best of American technology and know-how to this growing threat to lives and property. Devastating wildfires are on the rise and this new partnership brings four leading companies in the aerospace, electrical power, tech, and financial industries together to address this national problem," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. "Building on Lockheed Martin's leading-edge capabilities in space and ground-based sensing systems, autonomous air and land drones, and command and control systems, EMBERPOINT™ aims to combine these skills along with those of our partners to address what is a true national security mission."

"This partnership underscores our commitment to ending catastrophic wildfires," said PG&E Corporation CEO, Patti Poppe. "We plan to seek regulatory approval to pair Pacific Gas and Electric Company's on-the-ground experience with our partners' advanced technology, and properly scale how we identify risk, prevent incidents, and protect the people and ecosystems we serve for the benefit of all society—while staying fully focused on providing safe and reliable energy to our customers. Today's announcement marks the next step in a broader, multi-phase effort to end catastrophic wildfires."

"Agentforce and Slack are powerful tools that can be used to solve the most pressing challenges," said John Somorjai, Chief Corporate Development and Investments Officer, Salesforce. "We look forward to integrating our world-class AI capabilities with the specialized expertise of our partners to combat the escalating threat of wildfires."

WHAT'S NEXT

The EMBERPOINT^TM team and technologies will be built out in the coming months, targeting demonstrations in 2026.

Salesforce will be the official Make-A-Wish donation match partner for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September

PHOENIX, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Make-A-Wish America today announced a national partnership with Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the world's #1 AI CRM, to bring hope and joy to children battling critical illnesses. As part of its support, Salesforce will serve as the official matching gift partner for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) this September, helping inspire additional donations that will make a meaningful impact in communities nationwide.

For the next three years, Salesforce will contribute $1 million annually to help grant life-changing wishes for children and their families. The commitment will serve to expand outreach, fund more wishes, and support the goal to reach every eligible child.

"We are proud to welcome Salesforce as a national corporate partner in our mission to bring hope to children battling critical illnesses," said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. "Every wish we grant has the power to uplift not only the child, but their entire community. Yet for every wish fulfilled, two more children are still waiting. With Salesforce's deep commitment to social impact, we're poised to reach more families, faster, creating powerful moments of strength and joy when they're needed most."

Each September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month draws attention to the impact of cancer on children and their families, with approximately 15,000 new cases diagnosed annually. At Make-A-Wish, cancer is the leading qualifying condition among children with critical illnesses in the United States. This year, Salesforce has pledged to match all donations made throughout the month to ensure more children can experience a wish, because the impact of a wish can mark a turning point in a child's treatment and recovery.

"Supporting the health and welfare of children has been at the heart of our philanthropy at Salesforce," said Salesforce Chair and CEO Marc Benioff. "Make-A-Wish does extraordinary work bringing light to children and families during some of their hardest moments. We're proud to stand alongside them to help turn more wishes into reality."

The partnership will also include employee engagement opportunities, storytelling campaigns, and co-branded activations during significant events such as World Wish Month.
