New Tech Changing the Fight Against Wildfires Across America

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the rapid advancement of technology in the battle against U.S. wildfires. He highlights how satellites and drones are evolving beyond traditional limits, now offering real-time wildfire tracking and, in some cases, direct firefighting capability. Low-altitude drones are being used for highly detailed monitoring, while larger drones may soon deploy water and retardant in hard-to-reach areas. McIntyre notes that these developments represent a turning point in wildfire management strategy.
