DENVER — Some of the brightest and most environmentally conscientious firefighters, innovative thinkers and conservationists are gathering for a summit this week in downtown Denver on how to better prevent, detect and suppress catastrophic wildfires.
The summit is being held at The Rally Hotel and McGregor Square in Denver’s Ballpark district, in part because of destructive wildfires that have recently ravaged hundreds of thousands of acres in Colorado and destroyed thousands of homes. The idea is to incentivize individuals and technological geniuses to come up with new, innovative, and radical firefighting techniques and systems.In the second category, autonomous detection and response to wildfires, competitors are to use technology like drones to detect and suppress fires quickly and aggressively.
Whitesell was on the ground for 112 days fighting the Cameron Peak Fire in northern Colorado in 2020. “We have fires in the middle of the Amazon, to the Arctic, to the middle of the Pacific Ocean,” said Houlihan.“It’s exactly why we need to innovate solutions,” Houlihan said. “Because that was the perfect storm of all sorts of challenges at the same time.”“After the Marshall Fire and some others in Texas and even in Hawaii, realizing that the grasslands and the lowlands are just as susceptible ,” was eye-opening, Whitesell said.
