Problem: Fast-moving wildfires risk firefighter safety and create uncertainly for allocating resources
Solution: Disseminating near real-time wide-area maps to all personnel improves safety and utilization of resources.
Benefits:
- Composite thermal and visible maps update in minutes
- Georeferenced maps pinpoint the fire edge, unlike context-less, narrow-view video
- Enable firefighters to react as fast as the fire
- Improve firefighter safety
- Maximize the benefit of the available resources
