Part of the best forest fire monitoring in the world
"We have the best forest fire monitoring in the world," says Prof. Müller from the Technical University of Dresden during a report from Central Germany about the ongoing drought that is affecting some German states. This monitoring includes our IQ FireWatch system, which detects rising smoke within minutes and enables precise localization of the developing fire. According to Philipp Nahrstedt, head of the Annaburg forestry office, it means five times the amount of water and material needed on site if a forest fire is not detected for one hour, which is why these measures are so important.
We hope that with the help of these efforts the area will be protected from further devastating fires.
