We emphasize 3 stages in the fight against wildfires: 
1. Avoidance 
2. Monitoring and rapid response 
3. Containment and suppression

1. Avoidance:

• robotic fuel collection: kodama.ai
• fuels treatment: burnbot.com
• burying power lines
• construction of fire barriers around communities
• fire reservoir construction
• water recycling and rainwater collection for firefighting water supplies

2. Monitoring and rapid response: 

• forest management: arbonaut.com, vibrantplanet.net
• early detections: alertcalifornia.org, ororatech.com, dryad.net, firemaps.net, umgrauemeio.com, roboticscats.com, exci.ai, pano.ai, insightrobotics.com, muonspace.com, Google FireSat, NASA FIRMS
• powerline monitoring: gridware.io

3. Containment and suppression:

• using fire aviation: rain.aero, caurus-technologies.com, CAL FIRE Aviation Management Program, other fire aviation services
• using rocket system: fire-dome.com
• using airship drone chains: furtherium.com/wildfires
