Firefighters are being stretched to their limits as climate change makes blazes worse, but a new wave of technology could provide some relief.

We can already detect fires from space, soon after they start. Here’s why we don’t yet have a nationwide system for alerting us when they do—but could someday.

Pano AI’s system monitors the landscape around the clock, using AI-powered software to review the camera footage, and sending an alert if a fire is discovered and verified.

Fire departments in the region and the state are partnering with “smoke detectors in the sky” to boost early fire detection. Carbondale Rural Fire and Protection District will be the next in Colorado to add artificial intelligence to its fire mitigation toolbox.

Wildfires are a bigger problem than ever. We could avert billions of dollars in damage, but more importantly: save lives, homes and avert tragedy. We’re sitting down with Pano founder and CEO Sonia Kastner to find out how this works.

One of Clerico’s investments focuses squarely on the issue he’d witnessed firsthand: how to help pinpoint the location of a fire quickly. Pano AI mounts 360-degree cameras on towers to monitor landscapes, and then uses artificial intelligence to detect fires early, sometimes before a 911 call might have been made.

New high-definition cameras are helping to keep Oregon families safe.

The climate crisis is creating unexpected partnerships, with wildfire monitoring service Pano AI recruiting T-Mobile and Salesforce as backers this week, taking its series A funding to $37m.

A startup that uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to rapidly detect wildfires has raised another round of funding less than a year after announcing a $20 million Series A.

T-Mobile, through its sustainability-focused venture capital arm T-Mobile Ventures, has backed San Francisco-based Pano AI, which has built a wildfire detection device that uses cameras, satellite feeds and artificial intelligence to pinpoint where new wildfires are starting and alert firefighters and other first responders to stop them from spreading.

Wildfires are starting to pop up in Washington year-round, and thanks to a new AI tool, local firefighters will be able to respond to fires as soon as they start.

The new pilot program will enable early detection and monitoring to provide better data on wildfires as they emerge.

On Friday afternoon, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources unveiled a new partnership with Pano AI to aid in their wildfire fighting efforts.

The award recognizes T-Mobile’s work with Pano AI, a disaster preparedness technology solutions provider, which uses its expansive 5G network to monitor, detect and aid in preventing wildfires in rural areas and help stop them from growing out of control.

CEO of Pano AI, Sonia Kastner, joins FOX Weather to discuss how her company uses artificial intelligence technology to predict and prevent fires.

Colorado lawmakers unanimously approved the bill which could create a $2M AI pilot program

Cameras would be mounted on mountaintops in high risk locations. The images would be analyzed with the hope of detecting a fire early.

A proposal that legislators will discuss in a hearing Thursday would create a $2 million pilot program to mount cameras on mountaintops in high-risk locations. An artificial intelligence program developed by a private company would analyze the images and sounds from cameras with 10-mile (about 16-kilometer) radiuses with the aim of detecting something that could signal the start of a blaze.

A Colorado Senate committee on Thursday unanimously voted to move forward a bill to create a $2 million pilot program that would station cameras on mountaintops, and use artificial intelligence to monitor the footage and help detect early signs of a wildfire. The bill will move to the state Senate Appropriations Committee next.

The arrival of the artificial intelligence technology has come as summer heatwaves have already started.

Artificial Intelligence is now being used to spot bushfires before they become a serious threat. The technology uses satellites and panoramic cameras to monitor remote bushland and hopefully save lives.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and ultra-high-definition cameras are being trialed in Noosa Council as part of the Firetech Connect Program, to demonstrate and test novel approaches to bushfire detection.

As summer approaches, and with it the increased threat of fires, one innovative tech start-up is fighting bushfires in an unconventional way.

Risk Strategies supports local AI technology to catch disaster before it strikes

A surge of new work is aimed at avoiding extreme, record-breaking fires that keep increasing in Western states.

Pano AI is one example of climate tech startups emerging to tackle conditions, such as wildfires, exacerbated by climate change.
