Climate change has heightened the risk of forest fires and wildfires in Europe. EU agencies are cooperating across borders and using artificial intelligence to predict and prevent disasters.

00:00This project has an important part in technological advances applied to the fight against forest fires.
00:13Artificial intelligence can give us support in both prevention and extinction.
00:19In the prevention of what way? Because it helps us anticipate to know the danger and risk situation of each part of the territory.
00:30Artificial intelligence can be an opportunity to know better the behavior of these fires,
00:36which we call the sixth generation, because they have behaviors that do not respond to the expected statistical parameters.
00:48From the point of view of extinction, once that fire has already occurred,
00:52we rely on these tools through simulators,
00:56which tell us with what probability the fire will reach a certain area,
01:00it will have a certain behavior, it will affect a town and we have to evacuate it.
01:04That is, they give us support for decision-making during extinction.
01:11We are trying to put in artificial intelligence, little by little,
01:15all the volume of data of all the media that come to the fire and what are their performance and so on,
01:22to simulate what can be an operational response.
01:25That is, it can give us advice, depending on the type of fire,
01:30what tactics, strategies or means would be more advisable.
