At 2 a.m. on December 4, a wildfire sparked in Black Star Canyon, Southern California as the people of Irvine Lake slept in their homes. After a nearby AI-powered ALERTCalifornia camera sent an emergency ping to the Orange County Fire Authority, fire crews were able to contain the blaze to less than a quarter of an acre and keep homes and people safe. ALERTCalifornia, which has installed 1,080 monitoring cameras and sensor arrays, collaborated with CAL FIRE and DigitalPath in 2023 to develop an AI system that provides early detection and dispatches real-time data to local firefighting crews.
