How AI Helps Spotting Wildfires

Wildfires are more and more present in modern society, mainly caused by heat waves, lightning, droughts, climate change, or even human actions like car fires and cigarette butts. We've seen it everywhere recently Brazil, Australia, United States, Canada, etc., destroying plant, human, and animal life, property damage, and contributing to global warming through the high amount of CO2 produced. These countries all have walls of videos like the one below in the county's fire emergency to see if something is going on. The most common problem is that they are spotted too late and already widely spread out. This is because you cannot have somebody staring at that wall all day, waiting to spot smoke or fire.
