My community faces high temperatures and drought during the summer. This results in vegetation drying in open areas, homes, schools, and parks leaving them vulnerable to wildfires. I propose a climate action to significantly improve the resilience of the community to this natural hazard. My proposed system contains heat sensors, smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, a computer, a global positioning signal generator, a transmitter, software, and solar panels. Several of these systems will be installed in the most vulnerable locations and linked to the nearest fire departments to monitor fire-hazardous areas. When a fire starts, fire departments are notified and rescue teams are dispatched to the location of the fire while the fire extinguisher puts out the nearby fire. To implement this climate action we need a grant from the government or private sectors to develop the technology needed to build the system. Once we build this system, a trial period begins to evaluate the effectiveness of this system. If the technology is effective in extinguishing the fire with or without the fire department's help in proper timing, then it is improving the resilience of the community. The system will be commercialized for production and public purchase.
