Wildfires are a severe hazard in residential areas around the globe. An increasing number of buildings are destroyed each year, with expected significant growth in the future. This trend is primarily attributed to climate change and continued urban expansion into forests. Risk mitigation and elimination are essential to preserving human lives and wealth, requiring an integrated approach involving fuel depletion, fire extinction, and engineering practices to enhance protection against wildfires.

The project deliverable is a technology to protect homes from devastating wildfire impacts. The developed technology will be an advanced software system that can evaluate the environment around homes and initiate the proposed sprinkler system to protect the property, even after evacuation. The project aims to design an autonomous wildfire protection system to end private property destruction caused by wildfires, specifically focusing on California and other critical wildfire susceptible states.
