Kazakh rescuers use AI technologies to combat fires

In the North Kazakhstan region, monitoring of steppe territories is being intensified with the use of drones. Equipped with artificial intelligence elements, these drones enable real-time aerial surveillance, allowing for rapid response to fire hazards. With the onset of the fire-prone season, emergency services have switched to an enhanced mode of operation. Aerial monitoring and AI technologies help personnel from the Emergency Situations Department detect risks at an early stage and prevent the spread of fires. Drones equipped with infrared cameras have proven particularly effective. They are capable of detecting fire hotspots even at night. When smoke is detected, the system automatically sends an alert to the operations control center. Currently, around 20 AI-powered drones are deployed in the region, and they have already become a reliable tool for firefighting units.
