Hotspots, smoldering underground or hidden in fallen debris, may go undetected by crews and traditional aerial reconnaissance. Undetected hotspots run the risk of reigniting; leading to more fire damage, risk to firefighters and costly redeployment.
With infrared scanning; Taiga provides accurate detection and mapping of hotspots, hotlines, and areas of risk, during the suppression phase of operations. This permits a more effective deployment of resources, thereby reducing costs and manpower required.
