From October 8 to 10, FireTracking participated in the National Firefighters Congress, an unmissable event for all civil security actors. Alongside AXIONE, we presented our solution for the ultra-early detection of forest fires using artificial intelligence, which has already been successfully deployed in Indre-et-Loire. A look back with Jean-Simon Chaudier, CEO of FireTracking, on these three days of events and on the prospects to come.

When a fire breaks out, every minute is decisive. Between the moment when the first smoke appears and when the flames get out of control, the speed of detection and intervention can change everything. At a time when artificial intelligence is emerging as a major lever in tech and innovation, it can also become a real ally in protecting populations and maintaining territories. That is precisely the aim of FireTracking. With our advanced fire monitoring technology, we are putting the power of AI into the fire department to give them a head start in the face of the speed of fires.

Today, forest fires represent one of the most destructive plagues for our territories. Every year, thousands of hectares go up in smoke, leaving behind devastated landscapes, fragile ecosystems and scarred populations. This risk is compounded by global warming, the intensification of droughts, the abandonment of certain areas or even human neglect. Faced with this growth, how can we prevent the flames from spreading too quickly, to the point of becoming uncontrollable? Perhaps one of the answers lies in ultra-early detection, which saves precious minutes and helps contain a fire before it turns into a disaster.

From June 11 to 14, 2025, FireTracking participated in Viva Technology, the largest European exhibition dedicated to innovation, alongside the NewCaledonianTech delegation. With 180,000 visitors, 4,000 partners and more than 14,000 startups from all over the world, Viva Tech 2025 has once again confirmed its status as an unmissable innovation event. Organized in Paris, the event brought together major players in tech, research and public policies around the major challenges of innovation and digital transition. For FireTracking, this international event offered a unique showcase to present our AI solution for detecting forest fires, at the crossroads of technology, the environment, human safety and the preservation of territories.
