How IoT Sensors Are Tracking Wildfire Smoke Plumes
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into a fresh angle on wildfire sensing: tracking the smoke itself, not just the flames. They explore a pilot project where a network of low-cost particulate sensors across a Western U.S. county is feeding a real-time smoke map, helping public health officials issue hyper-local air quality alerts. The discussion covers the sensor tech—laser particle counters and metal-oxide gas sensors—and the data challenges, like calibrating readings across different sensor batches and distinguishing smoke from fog or dust.
