Scientists propose fire-spotting satellite for warning Forest Fires early.


Scientists from University of California, Berkeley propose a fire-spotting satellite which could view the Western United States almost continuously, snapping pictures of the ground every few seconds in search of hot spots that could be newly ignited wildfires. Firefighting resources could then be directed to these spots in hopes of preventing the fires from growing out of control and threatening lives and property.
