Description
Description | The British Columbia government is investing up to $1 million to field-test new technology developed by Skyward Wildfire Technologies. The technology aims to predict and prevent lightning that may trigger wildfires by releasing a lightning reduction material into storms to redistribute electrical charge inside clouds, reducing cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. The field tests will determine if the technology meets BC's wildfire prevention standards for potential wider application. |
