Fireball - Automated real-time wildfire detection and tracking Currently, the detection of a wildfire relies on the human eye. Wildfires are often reported 15 minutes or more after ignition. Early detection and intelligence empower rapid and effective fire suppression and protection of the public. Fireball.International offers an intelligence system that reports wildfires as early as three minutes after the fire starts, using powerful deep machine learning algorithms, that detect fires early and evaluate their growth. The company recently secured a substantial contract in California.
