Aspen Fire has partnered with Pano AI on cutting-edge smoke detection technology to help firefighters prevent catastrophic wildfires. It uses artificial intelligence to identify and pinpoint fires while they're small. 

Check out timelapse footage from the Hunter Creek Prescribed Burn (2022) and Collins Creek Prescribed Burn (2023) from the vantage point of a Pano camera. 

Our partnership with Pitkin County, City of Aspen, Town of Snowmass Village, and Roaring Fork Fire makes this possible in our district.
