The successful mountaintop AlertWildfire camera system, pioneered by the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe and Nevada’s Great Basin to provide early detection and fire behavior intel, is expanding to Sonoma County, which was hit hard by wildfires in 2017. Graham Kent, AlertWildfire project director says this is a great step for Sonoma County, where as much as 80 percent of acreage not burned last year is at risk, and a significant fraction of burned areas could also re-burn due to fuels that are four to five feet high in spots.
