The program objective is to build test and deploy the GeoFire Real-Time Wildfire Alert System(WAS) to definitively answer where a wildfire is right now and where it is heading next. This isaccomplished by using a high-density sensor network to track the location and growth of individualwildfire cells in real time. The GeoFire WAS is designed for exceptionally reliable operation:accurate fire detec ...
