Firebird Project
An innovative solution for wildfire prediction and risk assessment using machine learning and deep learning models.
Developing innovative machine learning and deep learning solutions for wildfire prediction and risk assessment
Project Overview
Firebird is an organization dedicated to advancing wildfire prediction and risk assessment through the integration of real-time environmental data and machine learning. Their mission is to protect communities and ecosystems by providing cutting-edge, AI-driven solutions to anticipate and mitigate wildfire risks.
With projections indicating a potential 50% rise in wildfires in certain Canadian regions by 2030, Firebird's AI-driven approach aims to alter this trajectory. Their development strategy focuses on continuous model refinement, comprehensive data integration, and active stakeholder collaboration with fire departments and forest services.
