Every minute matters in fire response, and most wildfires are detected by bystanders and reported via 911, meaning it can take hours to detect a fire, verify its exact location and size, and dispatch first responders. Pano AI aims to provide a faster way to detect, confirm, and pinpoint fires so that fire authorities can quickly respond.
