- Pano enables forest and grassland managers to effectively monitor and control prescribed fires, set by wildfire specialists to reduce fuel loads and mitigate hazards, promptly dispatching alerts should any blaze stray beyond designated containment zones.
As wildfires become increasingly destructive, one contributing factor is our propensity to establish communities on the cusp of wildlands, many of which have been allowed to grow unchecked. As temperatures rise, regional climate shifts are simultaneously exacerbating arid conditions, transforming vegetation – including timber, shrubs, and grasses – into highly flammable tinder.
As the devastating consequences of uncontrolled firespreads, it is increasingly crucial to devise innovative strategies for preventing or containing such blazes before they escalate into catastrophic infernos.
Occasionally, emergency response teams rely heavily on citizens to recognize the signs of a potential fire – such as smoke or flames – and swiftly notify authorities about the incident. Within the timeframe it takes for companies to verify these findings, small flames can rapidly escalate into extensive conflagrations that become increasingly perilous and difficult to extinguish.
The promise of Pano lies in its potential to significantly abbreviate response times by swiftly identifying, verifying, and localizing potentially undetected blazes – those that may remain unseen for hours due to their remote locations or concealment beneath tree canopies, or ones ignited during evening hours. Fire safety measures will significantly reduce the frequency and severity of uncontrolled blazes, thereby minimizing loss of life and injury.
