MEJOR Technologies recently joined the Neal on Fire podcast to discuss the future of wildfire detection, mitigation, and response. In this episode, our CEO & co-founder Melvin Sieben, shares how MEJOR ’s solutions, including CHRIS Cloud and LUCI, support real-time incident mapping and data-driven decision-making. The conversation explores current gaps in wildfire response and how better situational awareness can help responders act faster and safer in high-risk environments. Listen to the full episode to learn how data-driven situational awareness is reshaping wildfire response, or get in touch with us to explore how MEJOR’s solutions can support your organisation.

The Growing Wildfire Problem Wildfires are no longer a problem limited to traditionally "hot" countries. In recent years, nations once considered low risk, such as the Netherlands and Canada, have faced increasingly severe fire seasons. In 2024 alone, the European Union invested €600 million to bolster its wildfire suppression capabilities, including the purchase of 12 new aircraft to support aerial firefighting operations (Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations, 2024) . This investment demonstrates how seriously the EU is taking the threat. But while suppression is necessary, it raises a critical question: Are we only reacting to wildfires instead of addressing their root causes? What if the same level of attention and funding went into prevention? Wildfire Prevention: A Smarter Strategy Rather than focusing all our resources on fighting fires once they ignite, we need to prioritise stopping them before they start. Think of wildfire prevention like routine maintenance on a car: you don’t wait for the engine to break down, you service it to avoid the breakdown altogether. Prevention is proactive, cost-effective, and often far less destructive than firefighting. In fact, every dollar spent on wildfire prevention can save communities between $5 and $10 in suppression and recovery costs (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2017) . How to prevent wildfires? That is where LUCI comes in. LUCI is an AI-powered wildfire prevention tool designed to keep communities one step ahead of the fire. Whether it is wildfire season or not, LUCI continuously analyses your land to detect high-risk zones. It provides clear insights into when , where , and why  a wildfire could ignite, empowering you to take targeted, preventive actions before a fire ever starts. Are You Ready to Fight Wildfires at the Source? It’s time to shift the mindset from reaction to prevention. Let LUCI help you tackle the wildfire crisis at its core—intelligently, proactively, and sustainably. References: Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations.

CHRIS Stitching Together a Clearer Picture of Wildfires When battling wildfires, time and clarity are everything. CHRIS is a wildfire response support solution that transforms raw drone footage into actionable intelligence, in near real-time. By stitching together images from drones in near real-time, CHRIS generates a high-resolution, bird’s-eye view of active wildfire zones. The resulting map includes precise fire boundaries, GPS-located hotspots, and a clear spatial context, all crucial for emergency teams on the ground. The video above showcases CHRIS in action, illustrating how scattered visuals from multiple images are transformed into a coherent operational map. This enhanced situational awareness allows first responders to plan evacuations, allocate resources, and fight the fire more effectively. Whether it's day or night, wide-scale or fast-spreading, CHRIS provides emergency crews with the clarity they need—right when they need it. Are you ready to get a better overview of wildfires? Learn more about CHRIS now. Problem: Getting a Meaningful Wildfire Overview As technology evolves, so does the toolkit of modern fire departments. Drones are now a common sight in wildfire response, offering quick aerial views of affected areas. However, a single drone feed, even when live, is often hard to interpret. Take a moment to watch the first video above. You’ll notice that trying to locate a fire based on a vague reference like “the third tree to the left” just isn’t practical. Drone footage alone, while visually informative, lacks geospatial clarity and a sense of scale.

How quickly can I deploy the CHRIS off-grid box and begin real-time mapping? Deployment takes only a few minutes. The unit arrives pre-configured, portable and ready for use in the field. Once the drone starts capturing imagery, the CHRIS Off-Grid Box automatically stitches the images into a geo-referenced map within seconds, providing immediate situational awareness. What is real-time incident mapping? Real-time incident mapping serves as a single source of truth for response teams by transforming drone imagery into a shareable, live, 2D map. CHRIS enables this process by automatically stitching drone data into a live map that updates as the situation changes. How does real-time incident mapping help me? It enables teams to monitor dynamic situations such as wildfires, floods, industrial incidents, and security events, helping them make faster and more informed decisions based on shared, real-time information. Can I use drones for incident mapping? Yes, drones are increasingly used for incident mapping. They can capture aerial images and videos that show the full scale of an emergency, from wildfires to industrial accidents. When combined with mapping software like CHRIS, this imagery becomes a live, geo-referenced map that helps teams assess damage, track changes, and plan their response more safely and efficiently. Is CHRIS compatible with all types of drones? CHRIS is currently compatible with off-the-shelf DJI drones*, as well as our partner drones from Tective. *If your drone model is not yet mapped, you can simply upload a photo, and our team will process it to ensure full compatibility. Can incident mapping work in areas without internet? Yes. With offline-capable systems, teams can generate live maps even in remote areas without connectivity, ensuring situational awareness anywhere. How can drones improve emergency response and incident management? Drones provide rapid aerial views of an incident. When paired with mapping software, responders gain real-time situational awareness, helping them coordinate resources and act faster. What is the best way to get an overview during an emergency or incident? The most effective way to gain an overview is through real-time mapping, like CHRIS. By using drones combined with live mapping software, responders can instantly create a bird’s-eye view of the incident. This evolving map shows the full scope of the situation, helping teams coordinate resources, identify risks, and make faster, safer decisions. How to map incidents without internet connection? In remote areas, when you can't rely on the internet, responders use offline mapping systems that process drone imagery locally instead of relying on the cloud. This lets teams view updated maps directly through a local network. The CHRIS Off-Grid Box is one such solution, designed to run entirely without internet or external power while generating real-time maps in the field. How to track the progress of a wildfire? Wildfire progress can be tracked by mapping polygons that outline the affected area and comparing them over time. CHRIS monitors hotspots and temperature thresholds detected by drones or sensors to show changes in fire intensity, size and location. This allows teams to see how the fire is moving and to plan safer, more effective responses.

Scalability The FAST system is easily scalable by adjusting the number of UAVs for different area sizes. Frequently asked questions Find quick answers to common questions about FAST and its capabilities Why is early wildfire detection important? Early detection is critical for preventing small ignitions from becoming large, destructive wildfires. Faster response saves lives, reduces costs, and protects ecosystems. What is FAST and how does it work? FAST revisits areas within 30 minutes to ensure rapid detection of new wildfires. When a fire is identified, it provides the GPS location to guide an immediate response. How can technology support every stage of wildfire management? Modern wildfire management relies on technology to predict risk, detect ignition early, coordinate response and assess damage afterwards. Integrating all these stages helps reduce losses and improve safety. FAST, developed by MEJOR Technologies, connects prevention, detection and response tools in one platform, giving organisations a complete picture of wildfire risk and activity.
