Wildland Fire Sensors at the Urban Interface Fact Sheet

Body

Wildfires across the U.S. and around the world are becoming more frequent, costly, and dangerous. Risk factors include urban sprawl into previously undeveloped lands prone to wildfires and climate change hazards, necessitating technical innovations to assist firefighters on the front lines and keep our communities safe and resilient. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is working with TechNexus and the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation to guide the development of a suite of sensors, platforms, and other early wildfire detection technologies to assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state and local emergency management partners.
