At the start of the 2024 fire season, AX’s FireScout AI SaaS technology has emerged as a leading global solution in combating wildfires.
As reported by AX, the fire season has barely begun, yet communities worldwide are already facing unprecedented challenges.
Early reports indicate a severe season ahead, with increasing numbers of wildfires and acres burned.
AX, a global leader in advanced technology solutions, operates in the United States, Korea, Australia, and Europe.
Michael Plaksin, President and CEO of AX, stated: “Our mission is to provide cutting-edge, AI-driven solutions to address some of the world’s most pressing issues, including wildfire management.”
He added: “FireScout, our state-of-the-art AI SaaS technology, has already demonstrated significant success in early detection and rapid response to wildfires, helping to save lives, property, and natural resources.”
FireScout utilizes advanced algorithms and real-time data to identify fire threats faster and more accurately than traditional methods.
This proactive system enables firefighting teams to respond swiftly, minimizing the impact of wildfires.
The technology has been implemented across various regions, showing remarkable results in reducing wildfire devastation.
Despite global successes, California’s wildfire situation highlights the urgent need for enhanced fire management solutions.
Recent statistics from California are alarming, with over 312,403 emergency responses recorded year-to-date, more than 3,499 wildfires, and over 197,288 acres burned.
The impact of wildfires in California averages $5 billion per year, and the trend is worsening.
FireScout is not yet utilized on many California cameras, leaving the state without the proven benefits of AX’s advanced AI technology, which can detect fires in less than one minute and notify first responders 20 minutes to two hours before a 911 call.
Current alternatives have proven insufficient in addressing the scale and intensity of the wildfire threats.
California urgently needs a more advanced artificial intelligence fire detection software program to combat the escalating wildfire crisis.
FireScout’s proven effectiveness in early detection and rapid response would be transformative for California, providing the necessary edge to protect lives, properties, and the environment.
