How IoT Sensors Predict Wildfire Risk in Real Time
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how a network of ground-level IoT sensors is being deployed in California's Sierra Nevada foothills to detect wildfire risk before flames appear. They focus on a specific startup, Dryad Networks, which has installed over 10,000 solar-powered gas sensors across 50,000 acres. These sensors measure hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds—key markers of smoldering combustion—and transmit data via a mesh network every 15 minutes. Lucas explains how this early detection system aims to shorten response times…
