Spain and France are grappling with some of the worst wildfire seasons in recent history. With over 741,000 acres burning, both countries have deployed new technologies to combat these megafires.

Ecofire is a biodegradable liquid that can extinguish fires up to 40 times faster than water and prevent combustion at high temperatures. Predifire uses AI and drones to detect outbreaks early, while SenForFire monitors environmental variables in real-time using smart sensors. The Wildfire Assessment Model predicts fire spread using satellite data.

Beyond these tools, the public can stay informed through apps like Spain’s Civil Protection app and Incendios España, which show active fires in real time.
