US searches for firefighting solutions
Researchers work to find the most effective ways to fight wildfires as California enters peak forest fire season.
Published On 17 May 2014
Scientists at the US Forest Service’s hi-tech fire research lab in Riverside California are gathering data to help firefighters control wildfires.
Ten-thousand hectares of forest have been scorched, a dozen structures destroyed and one person has burned to death as wildfires rage across the US state of California.
The state is entering the peak of its fire season, and a blaze near the Camp Pendleton military base is still burning out of control.
