Fires of War: Managing Wildfires in Conflict Zones and Beyond

What will we cover?
✅ How armed conflict reshapes wildfire behavior and risks
✅ The science behind “wildfires of war” and their long-term ecological impact
✅ Practical strategies for managing fire in unstable or post-conflict environments

Serhii Sydorenko

Dr. Serhii Sydorenko is a postdoctoral researcher at Wageningen University & Research (Netherlands) and work as a Head of the Forest Ecology Sector at URIFFM, Ukraine since in 2021., specializing in fire ecology and landscape management. He holds a Ph.D. in Forestry (focused on Fire Ecology) from the Ukrainian Research Institute of Forestry and Forest Melioration (URIFFM). Since 2011, he has worked in forest ecology, wildfire management, and fire risk assessment. His research focuses on postfire impact, forest fuel assessment and modeling, post-fire reforestation, and fire-adapted landscapes. Since 2019, he has served as Ukraine’s national representative in the EU Expert Group on Forest Fires. His current research is focused on war impact on wildfire frequency and size, with considerable direct and indirect impacts and defining characteristics of “wildfires of war” — a rapidly intensifying phenomenon whereby armed conflict fundamentally transforms landscape fire regimes.

SmokeD wildfire and smoke detecors

Installed on high roofs or masts, equipped with AI, our detectors provide automatic early fire and smoke detection.

SmokeD applications

SmokeD Web is an application used by companies – created for dispatchers in alarm and dispatch centers.

SmokeD Alerts is a mobile application for everyone who wants to be informed about the detected fire directly from their smartphones.

SmokeD Drone

Our wildfire detection system includes a drone that can quickly and effectively detect fires in areas difficult to monitor (forests, plantations).

Why SmokeD smoke and fire detection system?

Constantly improving accuracy

We use AI and advanced machine learning algorithms to continuously improve our system and its accuracy.

Quick detection

SmokeD cameras with sensitive sensors can detect flames and smoke in an average of 10 minutes from as far as 10 miles away.

24/7 monitoring

Our detectors are designed with 24/7 environmental protection in mind and can detect fire hazards day and night.

Cost savings

Four cameras providing coverage of an area within a 10-mile radius and low power consumption offer effective protection against potential losses from fire damage.

24/7 support

In case of any problems with the system, you can count on our help. Our support team is at your disposal 24/7.

Automatic alerts

The sooner a fire is detected, the easier it is to contain. Our system sends out notifications automatically, enabling you to save lives and assets more effectively.

"The City of Hidden Hills, after suffering the Woolsey Fire of late 2018, purchased 2 SmokeD Systems cameras and installed them on the highest hill in our city (…). We have been alerted early to several nearby bushfires and even a house fire in a neighbouring community. (…). The SmokeD Systems cameras have been a comfort to our staff and our City."
