SPEED MATTERS
When it comes to wildfires, time is of the essence. Dryad provides ultra-early fire detection, sensing smoke and hydrogen gas which is emitted by pyrolysis in the early stages of a smoldering fire, giving fire fighters valuable time and a chance to extinguish the fire before it spreads out of control.
