Fire Sensing Technology

Small sensors, powered by AI, installed in the forest or on drones flying overhead can help authorities detect fires in the very early stages. The sensors, placed in locations around the forest, would allow firefighters to respond in minutes, rather than hours or days, potentially dousing hot spots before they turn into an inferno. This is especially important in Canada, with its vast geography and relatively small population. Ata Mutahar’s animation explains how these AI-powered sensors are shaping the future of firefighting.
