Sensors use artificial intelligence to detect wildfires around Peninsula

Fifty sensors that use artificial intelligence to help detect wildland fires have been installed in parts of the Peninsula, the result of a partnership between the Saratoga-based FireSafe Council, Stanford University and other local agencies.

The sensors have been installed in wildland urban interface areas — the space between wildlife and human habitats — in Woodside, Portola Valley and unincorporated parts of San Mateo County. The sensors can alert first responders about burgeoning fires in real time, and can track movement of fire and smoke in addition to air quality.
