1. A wildfire detection system comprising:
at least one wildfire station comprising:
a four-sided louvered metal exterior enclosure to facilitate ambient air flow to detect flames, smoke, and heat;
an insect, animal, and debris barrier screen;
a solar panel positioned on a top portion of the system capable of charging a plurality of redundant batteries through a battery charger;
an ionization detection circuit board configured to detect flames;
a photoelectric detection circuit board configured to detect smoke;
a heat sensor;
a central processing unit (CPU) and alarm panel configured to monitor battery condition and send alarm signals;
a mini camera connected to the CPU and alarm panel, wherein the mini camera is provided for visual verification and remote surveillance, wherein the wildlife detection system provides two forms of fire verification through visual by the mini camera and through a combination of the ionization detection circuit board, the photoelectric detection circuit board, and the heat sensor to detect combustive gases;
a telemetry/celemetry transmitter connected to the CPU and alarm panel for sending alarm signals; and
an antenna associated with the telemetry/celemetry transmitter through which the alarm signals are sent;
a power distribution unit (PDU) that distributes power to the ionization detection circuit board, the photoelectric detection circuit board, and the heat sensor; and
a command, control and dispatch computing device configured to receive a detection signal associated with flames, smoke, and/or heat from the at least one wildfire station, receive notifications of proximate location, and execute a remediation action, wherein the remediation activity is selected from one or more of the following:
dispatch a fire extinguishing crew or activate an aerial water dump, and
wherein the system triangulates an exact location based on an area of concern with triangulation with probable location from the at least one wildfire station with an alarm status, showing direction and speed of the burn, and
wherein the at least one wildfire station is mounted on a pole or tree.
