Fighting Fires with AI: The Future of Wildfire Management

A New Approach to Wildfire Management: Prevention Over Reaction

Editorial Team (ET)July 1, 2025



Wildfires have become an increasingly severe threat, ravaging landscapes, destroying homes, and endangering lives. At the Kelowna Community Theatre, a keynote panel on living with wildfire conveyed a crucial message: it's time to shift our focus from reacting to wildfires to preventing them. This symposium, sponsored by the University of British Columbia and hosted by UBCO, brought together experts to discuss innovative strategies for wildfire management.

The Wildfire Crisis: An Overview

In recent years, wildfires have become more frequent and intense, fueled by climate change and other factors. These fires not only cause massive environmental destruction but also result in significant economic losses. As the costs and dangers rise, it's clear that our current strategies are insufficient.

Traditional firefighting methods focus on extinguishing fires once they start. While this is necessary, it often leads to high costs and limited success. Firefighters risk their lives battling these blazes, and despite their efforts, the damage continues to escalate.

The Keynote Panel: A Call for Change

The panel at the symposium included academics, firefighters, and other experts who emphasized the need for a paradigm shift. Among them was West Kelowna Fire Chief Jason Brolund, who highlighted the inefficiency of spending vast sums on firefighting instead of prevention.

Chief Brolund passionately argued that current spending is misdirected. "We’re not being particularly successful and we’re putting people’s lives and property at risk," he said. Brolund believes that even a small fraction of the firefighting budget should be redirected towards preventive measures to yield significant benefits.

Preventive measures can save lives, protect properties, and reduce long-term costs. By investing in strategies to prevent wildfires, communities can avoid the devastating impacts and financial burdens that come with large-scale fires.

Fighting Fire with Fire

One effective preventive measure discussed by the panel is the use of prescribed burns. This technique involves deliberately setting controlled fires to clear out flammable underbrush and reduce the risk of larger, uncontrolled wildfires. Although this method has not been widely used in the past century, its benefits are well-documented.

Traditional Indigenous practices have long included methods for managing fire-prone landscapes. These cultural techniques, which involve setting controlled burns at specific times, have proven effective in reducing wildfire risks. Embracing this knowledge can enhance modern wildfire management strategies.

The symposium underscored the importance of collaboration between the academic community and local firefighters. Brolund shared his positive experiences working with academics to develop better wildfire management practices. This partnership is crucial for integrating scientific research with practical firefighting expertise.

Technological advancements offer new tools for wildfire prevention. Ground sensors, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring systems can help detect fire-prone conditions and respond quickly to emerging threats. These technologies are essential for modernizing wildfire management.

Genesis AI Corp’s Wildfire Defence Solutions

Genesis AI Corp (CSE: AIG | OTCQB: AIGFF) has introduced the Wildfire Module, a comprehensive tool for managing wildfires before, during, and after they occur. This innovative solution uses a combination of ground sensors, satellite monitoring, and machine learning to enhance wildfire management efforts.

The Wildfire Module helps identify areas prone to wildfires through predictive analytics and historical data. By conducting prescribed burns and installing ground sensors to monitor conditions, communities can proactively manage fire risks.

During a wildfire, the Wildfire Module improves response times through satellite monitoring and drone technology. These tools provide real-time data on fire locations and behavior, enabling more effective firefighting strategies.

Post-fire recovery is critical for long-term environmental health. The Wildfire Module includes features for remediating affected areas, planning reforestation efforts, and modeling future fire behavior to prevent recurrence.

Genesis AI Corp CEO, Devinder Randhawa stated in a recent news release, “we are pleased to be addressing the issue of wildfires across North America with real solutions. As a long-term resident of Kelowna, I have witnessed firsthand the devastation caused by the wildfires last year and in 2003. We are working to help communities quantify the cost of resilience and giving actionable intelligence to those affected.”

The Financial Impact of Wildfires

Wildfires have a staggering economic impact. In the U.S. alone, the cost of wildfires ranges from $87.4 billion to $427.8 billion annually. By investing in preventive measures, these costs can be significantly reduced, resulting in substantial savings for governments and communities.

Future Outlook and Conclusion

The future of wildfire management lies in prevention, collaboration, and technology. Chief Brolund and other experts envision a time when communities are better prepared and less vulnerable to wildfires. By adopting innovative strategies and working together, we can mitigate the devastating effects of these natural disasters.
