Details

This system uses satellite imagery and machine learning to predict where wildfires may occur or spread. It was developed by the Canada Research and Development Corporation on behalf of the Canadian Space Agency and is used by Government of Canada employees. The system is currently in Phase 1 and produces predictions that inform decision-making — it does not automatically trigger emergency responses.
