Analysis of PyroTamer’s Effect on Current Wildfire Situations

Abstract

Wildfires have been devastating Earth’s lands since its birth, but only recently have the fires become more rampant and increasing in numbers due to poor human decisions and excruciatingly worsening climate crisis. Our protectors, the firefighters, are constantly on an uphill battle to fight the numerous wildfires surrounding them during fire season, let alone risk their precious lives. To make matters worse, critical amounts of time are wasted as firefighters are still using old technology from decades ago like hand radios as they have been proven for a long time to be reliable. Although the reliability of hand radios is strong, they have extremely limited range and make communication onerous as verbal communication is not that efficient and prone to errors. PyroTamer is developing an application that focuses on reliability and efficiency to ensure firefighters are able to effectively communicate quickly in order to put out fires faster.
