Building Smoke Detectors for the Great Outdoors

Wildfires and their devastating impact on communities, the environment, and public safety continue to dominate headlines worldwide. Recognizing the urgency to address this critical issue, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) collaborated with TechNexus over the past three years to mitigate wildfires’ impact on communities using early warning system innovations from early-stage ventures. This groundbreaking initiative aims to revolutionize the way wildfires are detected and prevented.
