Early renderings of the Fire Probe

Wildfires around the world are becoming more intense, less predictable, and more frequent. As part of the Future Technologies Group at Accenture labs, I helped to develop the IoT Fire Probe, a wirelessly connected device with a suite of sensors designed to detect the risk, ignition, and spread of fire.

In collaboration with CSAA, the joint research project worked to empower homeowners, emergency responders, and industrial partners by providing them with the tooling needed to monitor their property in real-time. The probe is capable of wirelessly measuring environmental metrics such as soil moisture, volatile organic compounds, and CO2 and can sustain itself indefinitely on solar power using energy harvesting. This information is streamed to the cloud for use in early warning systems, firefighting deployment and strategy, and forestry initiatives at a massive scale.
