Frequently asked questions

What is meant by false positives? Ensemble/standards/manual validation?

False positives occur when the AI system incorrectly identifies a non-fire event as a fire. Utilizing ensemble methods, established standards, and manual validation helps to minimize these errors.

Where should cameras be placed? Hot zones/terrain/wind rose?

Cameras should be strategically positioned in hot zones – areas with high fuel loads and topographic complexity – taking into account the prevailing wind rose to maximize detection capabilities.

What is the risk to firefighters? Safety priority/geofences/SOPs?

Firefighters face significant risks during response, requiring a prioritized safety approach. Geofencing and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) help manage these risks effectively.

How does the project start? Regional pilot, KPIs, scale-up?

The project typically begins with a regional pilot program, utilizing key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success and gradually scaling up operations as confidence grows.
