NRMA Fireblanket is an always-on bushfire detection and monitoring network, designed to use sense of smell to pinpoint, track and predict bushfire movement. Wireless Sensor Nodes are placed on existing infrastructure to form a mesh network around at-risk communities, giving firefighters critical knowledge to manage bushfires and protect Australians.
