A German startup has designed a cheap sensor that it says could drastically speed up the detection of wildfires, reducing damage and cutting carbon emissions.

In the summer of 2021, wildfires caused a “disaster without precedence” in the Italian island of Sardinia, burning over 28,000 hectares of land and displacing thousands from their homes. Almost half of the affected land burned in a single catastrophic fire that affected the Montiferru region, near the island’s western coast.

“Think of it like an electronic nose that you attach to a tree.” Once the sensor detects a fire, it sends out a signal over a wireless network using a built-in antenna. The signal is then relayed to more complex devices and transmitted to the internet by satellite and 4G. Finally, the information is sent to the forest managers. “We also send out an alert and we can interface directly with the local fire brigade’s IT systems.

Or just clear dead brush every year and have other proper forest management like Montana. It’s not rocket science.

oh that's cool. if that kind of technology spread to all over the country then it can be a savior of nature and forest

Cutting carbon emissions/reducing damage of forest fires? You are such clowns, as is anyone peddling/buying this obvious grift. You're CAUSING MAN MADE CLIMATE CHANGE by interfering with the natural workings of interconnected (complex beyond comprehension) processes. STOP ALREADY

Why Planet Fitness hasn't raised its $10 monthly gym price in 30 years | CNN BusinessPlanet Fitness' almost sacrosanct $10 membership plan has become a key part of the company's brand positioning. I go to PF just to use the machines which i don’t have at home. I have a weights (bench, plates and dumbbells) but no machines. PF needs to step it up in equipment. A packed gym with not enough equipment is ridiculous at times and the staff is annoying. Because it really is $180 up front because it is an 18 month commitment. Everyday fitness need not be overpriced that's why PlanetFitness is unparalleled.
