How Technology Can Make a Difference in Fire Management?
We have to manage our landscapes better, which means removing fuel and wood and unsafe conditions long before the fire starts. Second bucket we invest in is community resilience. It's how do we help make our towns and houses and buildings and infrastructure more fire-resistant? And then there's really bad extreme mega fire where we want to intervene quickly and aggressively to stop that. We invested in a company called Pano AI, which builds a camera based system that monitors for fire starts and uses AI to detect smoke. The exciting thing for us is that a lot of this technology is proven in other markets. It just hasn't been applied to fire.
