A system and method for detecting in real-time high risk lightning (HRL) strikes and sending out alerts to responsible personnel to allow for earlier responses to lightning caused fire ignitions to help maintain and/or reduce the chance of spread by the wildfire. The system and method allow for HRL events and fire ignitions to be detected preferably within seconds. The system and method can use a network of detectors, data from environmental satellites and/or other environmental data sources, and novel AI/algorithms for signal processing to relatively quickly locate fire ignition spots. Thus, the system and method provide for actionable wildfire intelligence in real-time and to relatively quickly and accurately send out alerts when an HRL event has been determined. Cameras and drones can be used to provide real-time visualization at the location of the HRL event to verify or monitor any fire ignition or smoldering at the area of the HRL event.
A method for determining whether a high-risk-lightning (HRL) strike has occurred, comprising:
The method for determining of 9 wherein step ii. comprises panning, tilting and/or zooming the camera onto the latitude and longitude coordinate points of the detected HRL event.
