Camera-equipped fire detection and observation tower with surveillance AI in the Landes region of France Lieutenant P. Larrieu.
At the top of one of these watchtowers, Lieutenant Philippe Larrieu talks about his experience as one of the firefighters replaced by the optical cameras of the ADELIE system. A professional firefighter, he now heads the Roquefort rescue center.
At the time, the visual cues provided by the tower's 40-metre height, the use of the 20-kilometre horizon line and the alidade were the tools that enabled the famous triangulation to be carried out and the most precise possible location to be determined for the outbreak of fire perceived in the distance.
"We were the first link in the chain. If we fell behind, the intervention fell behind. We were the early warning".
Since 2007, the Landes Fire and Rescue Service has been equipped with a cutting-edge automatic fire detection system.
Rapid detection, the heritage of our ancestors, is perpetuated, even with the modern artificial intelligence of PARATRONIC's ADELIE system.
The ADELIE system, a "strategic" tool
Lookouts like him have given way to technology. The Service départemental d'incendie et de secours des Landes (Sdis40) watches over the Landes de Gascogne forest thanks to the ADELIE system, an automatic fire detection and localization program using video surveillance designed by PARATRONIC, a French company.
