How AI and satellite technology are being used for wildfire detection, mapping in Bay Area
Briefly

"There's so much happening where fire science and traditional firefighting are merging, and really working together," Schalet said.
"I think we're going to see a little bit of an arms race with satellite technology really being able to look down and detect fires but it's not just detection of the fires the mapping of the fires," Schalet said.
"Interestingly enough, every wildfire or every fire has its own distinct fingerprint. Right, so there's particulates and other aspects that makeup a fire's composition." Schalet explained.
"So it can discern from a barbecue, or a chimney, or a wildfire," Schalet said about the new AI-based wildfire smoke sensors.
