In the dossier "Les forêts de la Sarthe sous haute surveillance" (The forests of the Sarthe under high surveillance) of the special issue n°27 of the magazine Soldats du Feu, the journalist Manuel Halbout gives the floor to the Service Départemental d'Incendie et de Secours de la Sarthe (SDIS72) about their ADELIE system.
The Sarthe has 117,000 hectares of forest (17% afforestation rate). Like all natural areas, the forests of the Sarthe are increasingly threatened by rising temperatures and dry periods, and therefore by fires.
In 2020, with the aim of improving the response in the event of a fire, Dominique Le Mèner (president of the department and of the board of directors of the SIS 72) and Stéphane Le Foll (president of the Le Mans urban community) initiated the implementation with the SDIS72 of an automatic forest fire detection system for the massifs of the Sarthe. Indeed, early detection of fire outbreaks allows for a rapid reaction by firefighting units and, by starting the fight as soon as possible, to be able to contain a fire as quickly as possible, avoiding propagation due to additional delays.
This video-detection system complements a collaborative system that is already well established. Indeed, the SDIS 72 works hand in hand with theONF (Office National des Forêts), theCNPF (Centre National de la Propriété Forestière) and Fransylvia (the forest owners' union).
However, the SDIS 72 remains the major actor in the fight against fires and the protection of wooded areas in the department. Reporter Manuel Halbout interviewed four members of the SDIS in his dossier on fire prevention in the Sarthe:
The system chosen was that of PARATRONIC: the ADELIE system (Alert, Detection and Localisation of Fires) in the Sarthe. It has been operational since early 2021.
The ADELIE system is proving particularly effective in the massifs of the Sarthe. According to Mr Burbaud, "the system works thanks to 16 high points made up of 7 water towers and 9 existing pylons. Each high point has two cameras, each of which monitors the canopy over 180° and at least 20km, taking six photos per minute.
The photos taken by the detection cameras are analysed by artificial intelligence. Indeed, the ADELIE system's algorithms can detect the presence of smoke, which indicates the presence of a fire in the forest. When smoke is detected, an automatic alert is triggered for the ADELIE operator, generally located at the Alert Processing Centre (APC).
The operators can confirm the alert thanks to the cameras, locate the outbreak of fire by triangulation thanks to the ADELIE interface, and make the location and images of the outbreak of fire available to the Departmental Fire and Rescue Operations Centre (CODIS).
The intervention team then informed can deploy to control the fire, having, even before arriving on site, images of the smoke plume or the fire. In the same way, the CODIS is no longer blind and can take advantage of the images in real time, as well as a posteriori (investigations and feedback).
