The new method of tackling forest fires could be to use high-end technology such as The Autonomous Fire Guard. This concept design features a machine built with lasers scanners, Infra red cameras and radar for identifying areas through the smoke.
The Autonomous Fire Guard comes with different modules, each designed for a different job; cleaning up debris, cutting down trees in hazardous positions as well as spraying water to calm down consistant low-level fires.
The machine is likely to be on duty in the latter stages of a forest fire, when conditions are easier to tackle.
