Infrasonic Wildfire Detection and Reporting Devices

Infrasonic Wildfire Detection and Reporting Devices

Wildfires have become more frequent and continue to threaten the environment and lives across the United States. Past research has found that wildfires can be identified by the sound they create. Our goal is to create a network of low-power, low-cost devices that can identify the sound unique to wildfires and then report an estimated location to first responders. This technology could help detect and locate wildfires well before current methods, which would save both lives and ecosystems.
