    Why not simply hose the water directly? A water tank + a compressor would solve the pressure issue.

      Because that would not include an AI Decision Engine or Smart Capsules.

      Because then a bunch of Israeli founders couldn't claim to have been inspired by the Iron Dome.

    Instead of investing in gimmicky tooling like these, states should just follow Native American battle-tested-for-centuries practices of wildfire control. Wildfires are a natural part of the ecosystem in most parts of the world.

    Alternatively, if Americans feel too hoity-toity about learning from the (real) natives' practices, Canada and Australia both have been following the best practices of wildfire management for decades now.
