Wildfires to be Fought with Drones and Technology

There is more than a Pulaski to fighting fires.

A pulaski is a tool that wildland fire hand crews use for clearing fire breaks in the forest. It is as basic as they come. Chainsaws, bulldozers and other equipment can also be used. However, like everything else in this digital world, there are technological solutions being brought to bear when it comes to fighting fires in the forest. See Insitu, FireWhat, Esri, and HP partner to have eyes in the sky over wildfires!

You can see that not all drones are bad!
