What are the most innovative technologies for fighting wildfires?

Question

kristoft · Accepted Answer

There is one thing I'm always thinking about: a mesh network of autonomous devices that scattered across a field or a forest and a base nearby. These devices can have temperature sensors and someone can rather quickly see that something is going wrong either by temperature or if some amount of devices went down (say burnt in fire). I think those things called sensor networks or something like this.

Fighting or detecting ? I think that the most efficient way of detection is by covering a lot of area at once and satellites are best for that, I see that there are multiple efforts being done around automatic real time detection and alerting of forest fires from above.
