## Resource

A drone spotted two tiny lightning-sparked fires near Mount Rosa—less than an acre each—before they could grow. With precise GPS coordinates sent to the U.S. Forest Service, crews acted fast, proving how critical this tech is for early response. It’s not replacing firefighters, but empowering them to work smarter and safer—especially as the massive Aspen Acres Fire rages on, now forcing new evacuations in Red Creek. This small win shows how innovation can protect both people and land when big fires are already burning.
