Mapping Wildfire Stucture in Real-Time: Head, Flanks and Tail
Understanding a wildfire means more than knowing its perimeter. By automatically detecting the fireline and generating a live polygon from aerial imagery, CHRIS helps operational teams identify the head, flanks and tail in near real time, supporting faster decisions, better coordination and improved safety in the field.

CHRIS: Seeing Wildfire Progression in Real-time
Wildfires evolve rapidly, yet responders often rely on static maps or manual perimeter drawings that quickly become outdated. This article explores how CHRIS visualises wildfire progression in near real-time by converting aerial imagery into continuously updated fire polygons. By stacking fire layers from different moments in time, teams can clearly see how a wildfire spreads, where hotspots emerge, and which areas are increasingly at risk.
