The Future of Wildfire Defense - Meet FireDome

Описание: In this episode of All Things Wildfire, we dive deep into groundbreaking wildfire protection technology with Gadi, co-founder of FireDome (Adi Naor Pomerantz, co-founder), and Wade White, retired Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Gadi, a former Israeli Defense Intelligence officer, discusses how military-grade technology is being applied to wildfire mitigation, inspired by Israel’s renowned Iron Dome missile defense system.

FireDome is a revolutionary autonomous wildfire suppression system that detects spot fires in seconds and launches fire-retardant capsules to extinguish them before they spread. The discussion explores the challenges of integrating new technology into the fire service, the growing need for proactive wildfire protection, and the potential impact on high-risk properties, businesses, and entire communities.

With insights from Wade, who led innovations like the first robotic firefighter in LA, this episode highlights how technology can disrupt traditional firefighting methods and provide property owners with a powerful new defense against wildfires.
