MOUNT CRAWFORD AI FIRE TOWER

ForestrySA has officially launched an AI-powered fire detection camera at Mount Crawford, marking a significant advancement in early fire detection and bushfire preparedness in South Australia.

The camera is the first AI-powered fire detection camera operating in a peri-urban area in Australia and the first such system deployed by ForestrySA.

Located at the Mount Crawford Fire Tower, the technology uses artificial intelligence to continuously monitor the landscape for signs of smoke and potential fire activity. By helping detect fires earlier, the system has the potential to support faster response times and improve protection for communities, forests, and the environment.
