How IoT Sensors Are Predicting Wildfire Spread in Real Time
Wildfires are getting faster and more unpredictable. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how a network of IoT sensors—dense, low-power, and solar-powered—is giving firefighters a real-time picture of fire behavior. They zero in on a pilot program in the Sierra Nevada that uses hundreds of ground-level sensors to measure temperature, humidity, and wind every ten seconds, feeding a model that predicts where a fire will likely move in the next hour. The hosts break down the hardware, the data pipeline, and the tough trade-offs: battery life vs. sampling rate, edge computing vs. cloud, and…
