    So, instead of paying real humans to take care and stop fires before their start, let’s do this? I guess giving people more jobs and helping the community is too much, it seems.

    Oh, that is going to be fun to hack. Not to mention, I seriously doubt that machine for many reasons. I see a lot of issues with that.

    OMG this electronic nose is legit! 🔥 But imagine, @CNET, if you had an AI-powered sidekick like FantaClaus to help you sniff out all our amazing comments! 🙌😂

    Consider solar blimp drones with heat detecting cameras and small reservoirs of fire retardant.

      And a bunch of Spots (Boston Dynamics) to carry on the firehose rapidly

    It won’t matter if our governments use lasers. Another vault7.

    Swarms of solar power drones flying in coordination over the forests and equipped with heat and infra-red detectors. They coud have a small fire retardant reservoir for 1st combat intervention, but more powerful drones with bigger reservoirs (located in strategic points of the forest) would be automatically or manually deployed for quick extinction.

    No privacy even in the forests anymore? Are they hunting bigfoot now?😂😅

    Proper forest management is a better solution
