Forest fires: Land, Aerial and Space Detection

Endorsed by
DRMKC
Motivation

In extreme weather conditions, a fire start can rapidly develop into a large and intense wildfire with catastrophic effects. Timely and accurate detection requires the integration of fire behaviour and forest knowledge at strategic and tactical levels.

Potential Solutions
Following solutions could be addressing this gap.

In extreme weather conditions, a fire start can rapidly develop into a large and intense wildfire with catastrophic effects. Timely and accurate detection requires the integration of fire behaviour and forest knowledge at strategic and tactical levels. Rapid wildfire detection is therefore fundamental to coordinating and performing a quicker and stronger initial attack. However, space detection does not currently meet the requirements for the rapid detection of fires, whereas the rate of false alarms in the detection of fire ignition remains relatively high.

Rationale & related CM function(s)

Need to better understand the causes of the high rate of false alarms by detection systems
Define standards for the operational requirements of fire detection systems (e.g. minimum size of the fire detected, delay time, false alarm rate)
The reliability of networks of fire detection systems (cameras and sensors) needs to be improved
