Entry Description

Torus is an AI-powered wildfire detection system designed with a focus on seamless interconnectivity between communities, responders, and utilities. Installed directly on power lines, it combines thermal imaging and AI to instantly detect sparks or fires and trigger tailored responses. Residents receive intuitive evacuation alerts, responders access real-time maps and optimized routes, and utility companies monitor infrastructure risks. By synchronizing communication across audiences, Torus transforms wildfire response into a coordinated, proactive network that saves time, lives, and resources
