Can eyes in the sky help stop wildfires like those now devastating parts of California? Carl Pennypacker thinks so. The University of California, Berkeley astrophysicist is

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) — There may soon be a way to detect wildfires at an early stage using a system of satellites, planes and drones.

The Fire Urgency Estimation from Geosynchronous Orbit, or FUEGO, is a theoretical framework that uses a satellite to help with the early detection of wildfires.

Combining imaging, computation, software modeling, and satellite hosting systems with firefighting methods may enable cost-effective detection and monitoring of wildland fires in their first few

Scientists from UC Berkeley Develop Framework For Fire-Spotting Satellite UC Berkeley researchers have developed an initial framework for a satellite that could one day help

The proposed FUEGO satellite could spot small wildfires before they spiral out of control A fire-spotting satellite looking down on the Western United States could
