They aren’t firefighters. They aren’t even standing near the frontlines. Yet, a group of UC San Diego researchers have already helped fight more than a thousand vegetation fires in 2022.
WIFIRE is a UC San Diego-based program that provides real-time fire modeling and predictions for firefighters on the frontlines. That program is a small part of FIRIS: Fire Integrated Real-Time Intelligence System.
FIRIS gathers information from a wildfire using infrared cameras, mountain-based cameras around the state, and data from firefighters. That information is quickly sent to WIFIRE inside the San Diego Supercomputer Center on UC San Diego’s campus. The WIFIRE program crunches the information and within five minutes sends back the information to Cal Fire and the California Office of Emergency Services.
