Inspiration In June 2023, Southern Quebec faced an unprecedented surge in forest fires, consuming more land in 25 days than the past two decades combined. Among the consequences was the largest recorded single fire, devouring 460,000 hectares. These wildfires, beyond polluting the air, released massive amounts of carbon dioxide, exacerbating climate change. Many such recent forest fire tragedies inspired our project Firover - Forest Fire Detection Rover. Imagine small rovers patrolling high risk areas in forests, powered by machine learning to detect early fire outbreaks. Firover rovers send early warnings to prevent disasters. This project is our response to the urgent need for innovative solutions in forest fire prevention, addressing immediate risks and contributing to broader environmental preservation efforts.
