LOS ANGELES, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the 2024 fire season begins, AXE’s FireScout AI SaaS technology has emerged as a leading technology globally in fighting these devastating disasters. Though the fire season has only just begun, communities around the world are already facing unprecedented challenges. Early reports indicate that the number of wildfires and burned areas are increasing, signaling a severe season is on the way.

Despite global successes, the situation in California highlights the urgent need for enhanced fire management solutions.
California’s latest statistics are alarming.
A total of more than 312,403 emergency responses have been recorded so far this year.
More than 3,499 wildfires are burning, nearly double the five-year average.
The area burned exceeded 197,288 acres, about 12 times the average for the past five years.
128 buildings were damaged or destroyed.
Average damage from California wildfires: $5 billion per year and growing.

These figures do not take into account the peak months from July to September and indicate a worsening trend that requires immediate action.
FireScout is not currently in use on many cameras in California, meaning the state is not receiving the benefits and accuracy of AX’s internationally proven advanced AI technology, which detects fires in less than one minute and notifies emergency responders 20 minutes to two hours before a 911 call is made. It appears that current alternatives have proven inadequate to address the scale and intensity of the current and growing fire threat.
“California urgently needs a more advanced artificial intelligence fire detection software program to respond to and combat the growing wildfire crisis. FireScout’s proven effectiveness in early detection and rapid response will be a game changer for California. This will provide a much-needed edge to protect lives, property, and the environment, as has already happened recently.”
