Regarding SkyScouts: “This kind of technology is really really exciting, particularly in areas where you are going to be deploying technology rapidly, in areas that don’t already have the infrastructure. Being able to take data and AI in this format is not something I’ve seen before and it is really really exciting to really advance the science of wildfire prediction and evacuation.

“It was an absolute pleasure to…hear about the project. As I said when we met, I am impressed with the host of technologies employed to come up with the solution to a definite need.

“Daniel and Matthew’s innovative drone mapping system will help us fight fires faster with precise coordinates. And more importantly, their system of predicting and detecting fires early will help us save lives.”

“I’m here just to say a few words of support and endorsement for Daniel and Matthew’s project. It’s a big challenge for us in public safety to detect, predict, and map and respond to wildfires… We’re looking forward to improvements, such as what these two gentlemen are proposing, to use artificial intelligence and networks of sensors to improve the way that we collectively respond. Thank you all for your time and I support this project.

Their agency would “benefit from Daniel and Matthew’s predictive and detection tools to help firefighters extinguish fires when they are still small to protect our communities.

“This project is a good initiative for early notification and detection of fire to benefit the safety of the communities.”
