States across the wildfire-prone Western U.S. are using AI for early detection.
@AssociatedPress@flipboard.com reports: "In Arizona, California and beyond, the technology is mostly used in high-risk areas that are sparsely populated, rural or remote, where a blaze might not be quickly spotted by human eyes."

Since those days, and the present ability to obtain #allergy-safe (for me) #silicone #ElastomericRespirators, the tool has sat unused among many items from those early desperate days.
