Early fire detection:

High-resolution data on increased particulate matter levels help the fire brigade to recognise fires as early as possible.

Predictions of fire development:

Air quality data, combined with weather and topographical information, helps firefighters predict the potential spread of the fire, the direction of smoke plumes and the vulnerable areas that may be affected.

Assessment of firefighter safety:

Assess the safety of firefighters by monitoring levels of smoke, toxic gases or other hazardous contaminants that could endanger their health.

Prioritisation and allocation of resources:

Firefighters use air quality data for long-term planning and resource allocation. They can identify fire-prone areas and deploy resources strategically.

Public and education:

Raise public awareness of fire safety and the health risks associated with fires by sharing real-time air quality information to inform and educate.
