Selwyn District Council, NZ collaborates with Attentis and Spark on wildfire detection pilot

Selwyn District Council, NZ Attentis Spark Wildfire Detect

In Progress

Three Attentis fire detection sensors were installed throughout McHughs Forest Park. Each sensor gathers thermal imagery, air quality data, and 360-degree views around the clock. An AI-enabled platform evaluates data for early signs of forest fires. Fire service teams receive texts when wildfires emerge, thus reducing response times compared to existing reporting methods. This system also gathers particulate matter and pollen data for park visitors.
