Abstract

The fast-evolving conditions of rapid fire progressions demand swift and informed decision-making from firefighters. This paper presents a series of research efforts to develop artificial intelligent-driven technologies that provide real-time, actionable information during fire emergencies. By leveraging synthetic data and machine learning, these technologies aim to enhance hazard recognition, reduce firefighter risk, and improve operational effectiveness, ultimately strengthening life safety and mitigating property loss.
