Europe is experiencing a severe wildfire season, with nearly 465,000 hectares burned by the end of July. This figure is almost three times the 20-year average, signaling a dramatic increase in fire activity. Experts believe larger and more frequent wildfires are becoming the new normal due to climate change. While the summer is not yet over, this season is already one of the worst on record for the EU. Simultaneously, companies in the US are developing technologies for early fire detection and rapid suppression using drones. The escalating wildfire situation highlights the urgent need for preventative measures and innovative solutions to combat the growing threat.
