A new prescribed burning machine called the BurnBot can quickly remove vegetation that feeds destructive wildfires. Inside the machine, an array of torches use clean fuel and high oxygen combustion to quickly consume unwanted vegetation.

Fuel treatments prevent destructive wildfires, and should be used more by insurance & re-insurance carriers to reduce risk. Thank you, Peter Miller and Insurance Information Institute, for the opportunity to highlight risk reduction with BurnBot’s precision fuel treatment.

My TED talk on the growing wildfire crisis and what we can do about it has just been released. I hope that anyone who has been affected by fire or just interested in this problem takes a watch! 🧵 ted.com/talks/george_t…

Wonderful to see this story in San Francisco Chronicle by Jack Lee that highlights BurnBot’s work with Central Coast Fire. Technology can help amplify workforce to scale fuels work and build wildfire resilience in our communities. #FireTech #wildfire #resilience

We need wildfire-resilient landscapes that support #life and safety. Swaths of land being left to the forces of invasive species become fireprone, directly placing our communities in danger of an entirely #preventable threat.

New Senate report estimates the economic impact of wildfire in the US to be $0.4 - $0.9 trillion annually (2-4% of GDP). Solve wildfire & the economy grows faster. jec.senate.gov/public/index.c…

Delighted to share some *light* holiday reading: The State of FireTech 2023 Annual Update! It builds on the first State of FireTech Report (2022) to examine emerging trends in how FireTech—the development & application of science, data, & technology—can enable effective and

Look forward to doing more of this so that we can achieve wildfire resilience together.

Excited to share the first few episodes of my FireTech podcast mini-series (yes, we do need one more wildfire podcast)! I’ll keep it limited to a few episodes because I need answers and would love to share these #firetech conversations as I learn. In this mini podcast series, I

Yet another example that fuels treatments help reduce impacts of destructive fires. Thank you Zeke for the analysis.

🔥 Fact Friday: Over 46 million homes in the U.S. are located in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), where houses meet undeveloped wildland. This means 1 in 3 homes are at increased risk during wildfires. 🌲🏠 #WildfireSafety #ProtectOurFirefighters #WUIAwareness

Kicking off our first project under the CAL FIRE Workforce Development Grant, supporting our advancements in wildfire prevention and ecosystem health. Reducing wildfire risk across CA, one good burn at a time. #WildfirePrevention #PrescribedBurns

🔥 Fact Friday: Did you know? 70%+ of America's native prairies are gone & invasive grasses burn ~1.2M acres of sagebrush yearly. (Source: hubs.ly/Q02WCvdK0) BurnBot's RX2 & specialized treatments are helping land managers fight back! #ActForGrasslands #Conservation

The wildfire destruction in LA is deeply unsettling, shaking our sense of urban safety and security. My thoughts are with everyone impacted—the people of LA, first responders, and entire communities facing unimaginable loss. Once again, we see that once wind-driven wildfires,

Average home value in LA is $1M but impacted structures could be 5x-10x that because of the neighborhoods where the fires are occurring. If 10x, cost of structures destroyed through yesterday is $50B

Love it

Guess this scientist never heard of Orchard Hills. They didn’t wait for the weather to get less angry. They just got rid of fuels, and it stopped an 85mph wildfire. Keep blaming everything else except the one thing you can change (fuels) and keep watching everything burn. 🤷‍♂️
