The Santa Clara County Firesafe Council and San Jose Water are implementing AI-based wildfire detectors in the Santa Cruz Mountains to improve wildfire preparedness amid heightened fire risk. Following devastating fires in the Los Angeles area, cities such as San Jose and Los Gatos are taking proactive measures. San Jose Water’s Jared Lewis emphasized the importance of water utilities in wildfire mitigation and the need for early detection to enhance response strategies. Additionally, in local news, four students from the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District excelled in a poetry competition, demonstrating their talents in a school-led initiative.
The recent events in Southern California underscore the vital role of water utilities in fostering a coordinated and collaborative approach to wildfire mitigation, said Jared Lewis.
By harnessing advanced technology, we are enhancing water system resilience and focusing on the earliest stages of wildfire, where rapid detection and response are most critical.
I am incredibly proud of all the students who participated in this competition at their school, said acting superintendent Heath Rocha.
