Come see Bintel and Athena's Microtalk at FACO's Colorado Wildland Fire Conference in October at Snowmass. We'll discuss our approach and offer guidelines for the firefighting community on how and where to think about the benefits of artificial intelligence. Both firms have been in AI for a long time and have some strong opinions about what it can and can't do.

Bintel’s Trigger Point modeling calculates how long it will take a fire to reach a value-at-risk, hence the trigger for a resident to evacuate safely. Traditional fire behavior techniques model fire moving away from a pre-determined point of ignition, while Bintel’s modeling starts away from an evacuation route and calculates how long the fire will take to reach the road from any potential ignition point on the landscape. This produces a map of the time that responders have to save lives and property.

The Bintel Team was excited to win the contract to update two CWPPs and write two more covering the Denali Borough in Alaska.
