In the French d\u00e9partement of Indre-et-Loire, the company has installed 11 detection sites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;In all \u20ac1.2m [$1.4m; \u00a31m] was spent to cover the whole 6,000 sq km area [2,300 sq miles],&#8221; says Chaudier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It is mainly agricultural land. Crop fires are a huge and expensive problem with some 300 a year in this d\u00e9partement alone, Chaudier says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">AI fire detection is going to get better over the coming years. The French civil protection service has a programme called Condor, for example, which is testing solar-powered drones that carry out continuous patrols with electro-optical cameras and AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There are also projects with sensors placed among the trees. Spain&#8217;s SenForFire, for example, which measures gases released before flames become visible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As for drones, firefighter Guillaume Millet says they&#8217;re being tested in France for sea rescue, dropping lifebuoys and survival kits, but there&#8217;s no drone tech that&#8217;s reached that stage yet for firefighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;In fact, the usefulness of technology is very limited in this area,&#8221; Millet says. &#8220;It can help us with detection but it&#8217;s not technology that puts out fires; you need people to pull the hoses through the forest to attack them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Not even aircraft can replace that, he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;When a Canadair drops 6,000 litres of water on a wildfire it reduces its intensity but then firefighters on the ground have to finish what the Canadair started.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The French are also getting used to the sight of Dash planes that spray fire retardant (ammonium phosphate in the form of an orange powder) in front of the flames to prevent the vegetation from catching fire too quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But again, that&#8217;s no substitute for the brawn and water brought by troops on the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Not yet, at least.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
