As wildfires intensify globally, the need for innovative suppression technologies has become critical, with stakeholders advocating for the adoption of drones and advanced aerial systems. However, existing contracting models hinder the effective integration of these technologies, forcing reliance on outdated methods. In Colorado, the Department of Fire Prevention and Control is working to incorporate technology like the COTAK system, which enhances real-time tracking of firefighting resources and improves operational efficiency. Meanwhile, researchers are using AI to map beaver habitats, supporting wildfire resilience efforts. The construction of homes is also under scrutiny, with experts calling for strategies to reduce fire risks in residential areas, as many homes serve as fuel for wildfires. In Saskatchewan, a significant investment is being made to improve firefighting equipment and training in response to expected above-average wildfire activity this season.
