What I know is this is not necessary , just pulled BC Wildfire Dashboard wildfires Started 170. Human Caused 146. Lightning Caused 15, Undetermined 9.
Extinguished 131. 273,025 hectares burned. We had the technology in 2010 with Night Vision fire fighting 24/7 to put a fire out within 24 hours of starting. FIRMS /NASA will pinpoint those fires to within 30 meters of the hotspot. $350,000 spent on trials in Port Alberni, that technology is now in use in California, Australia and other parts of the world. $350,000 dollars of Taxpayers money to Australia and California.
Talk to me Global , I will demo how you can get the location of the fire transposed onto an iPad or iPhone Map, to First Responders immediately. If and to a Sikorsky S-76B or the CH Chinook helitanker the worlds largest heavy lift firefighter chopper with a 6,500 litres of Water/ retardant. Wake up BC, you are living in the dark ages.
