What role can drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play in early detection? Are there specialized sensors or thermal imaging techniques that can be deployed to identify wildfires in their early stages, especially in remote or inaccessible areas?
Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze considering we have the fire guard program, and you are talking about back country scenarios that dont impact humans long after the sun comes up and we figure it out by our other means available to us.

I’m intrigued by the fire guard program you mentioned. I recently joined a project that utilizes NLP models for early wildfire detection, specifically focused on alerting people about possible fires in California along with their locations. I believe our work could potentially contribute to the program’s efforts. Is there a way for us to explore collaboration or participate in the program?
