Introduction
FireTech, or wildfire innovation, continues to progress by air, ground, and in supportive technologies, including cameras and other early detection hardware and software, home protection systems, and fire modeling. It is impressive the possibilities innovation is bringing into being, and the task is not easy. FireTech innovators operate in a context that includes paradoxes, quandaries, accelerations, and uncertainties. Suppose there are perceived apparent and direct pathways through this challenging context. In that case, they are largely expensive, resource-intensive, obtrusive, create unexpected results over extended time delays, and produce difficult-to-associate relationships of cause and effect. Understanding an innovation’s role in wildfire is derived from studying and apprehending its context, namely the challenges, paradoxes, and issues that define it and the resources that work within it. However, the focus here is less on the integration of innovations into the r…
