The words "research and development" may conjure images of someone wearing a white coat, sitting in a sterile lab and looking through a microscope, but sometimes it means rising before dawn, lacing up hiking boots, leading a caravan of trucks filled with scientific equipment, and traversing the rugged foothills of Dye Creek Preserve near Red Bluff, California, to install sensors ahead of a prescribed burn. If that sounds like an impressive amount of dedication, it's because it is. ButScience and Technology Directorate(S&T) researchers don't mind roughing it when a scientific breakthrough is on the line—especially one that could save lives.
Prioritizing wildfire sensor technologies for early warning
At theCalifornia field event back in June, S&T successfully tested four prototype technologies for early detection of wildfires, closing out Phase 1 of theSmart Cities Internet of Things Innovation (SCITI) Labswildland fire sensor effort. SCITI Labs brings together government and private sector partners to identify technologies that meet first responders' operational needs and ensure the nation's critical infrastructure remains secure and resilient. This effort is especially timely given the extreme acceleration in fire emergencies across the West Coast in recent years.
"We are hopeful that wildland fire sensors can play a contributing role in the early detection of ignitions. If we can reduce the time it takes from ignition to detection to response then we may be able to prevent a small smoldering fire from becoming a catastrophic fire disaster," said Jeff Booth, director of S&T's Sensors and Platforms Technology Center.
Jesus Christ is alive and living in the hearts and lives of billions of Christians. I am interested in what He is saying and doing in the lives of those who know and love Him and interested in being a familiar and trusted blogger about Him

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
