California has invested in AI wildfire detection, drones, satellite monitoring, real-time fire modeling, and advanced mapping technology to detect fires earlier and respond faster. These investments, along with hundreds of prevention projects and a nearly doubled firefighting workforce, are helping build the strongest wildfire readiness and response system in the country.

🔥 Fighting fire with fire 🔥 When a wildfire is moving fast, firefighters can use firing operations—a tactic that involves using small, carefully controlled fires ahead of the wildfire. These fires burn away dry grass, brush, and other vegetation, removing the fuel the wildfire needs to keep going. The goal: slow it down or stop it in its tracks. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, these experienced CAL FIRE firefighters expanded their knowledge of using fire as a tool, understanding fire behavior, and working under real-time pressure, just like they would during an emergency. #CALFIRE #Training #ReadyForWildfire #Preparedness #Skills #Operations #WildlandFirefighter

🔥Firefighters are battling major wildfires across Wales and England, but lack the resources to respond safely. The climate crisis is fueling bigger, faster-growing wildfires. We need real investment now to rebuild resilience after over a decade of austerity.

Foundation models reach their full potential when paired with data at planetary scale. By combining the capabilities of Google Earth AI imagery models with the scale, depth, and quality of Vantor’s satellite imagery, Vantor customers can rapidly unlock complex, high-value use cases. Running Earth AI embedding models on Vantor’s 30 cm-class satellite imagery allows analysts to instantly surface visually similar features, patterns, and objects across massive datasets. A single reference image becomes a search query. From there, the system can: • Identify similar vessels across thousands of square kilometers • Detect infrastructure patterns at scale • Accelerate damage assessment workflows • Narrow broad-area searches before human review Our agreement with Google marks the first commercial deployment of Earth AI imagery models against a dataset offering global 2D coverage of virtually all landmass, global-scale 3D terrain, a 20+ year high-resolution archive, and constellation revisit rates of up to 15 times per day. That combination matters. When advanced imagery models are applied to a globally consistent, temporally deep, and geometrically precise spatial foundation, insight shifts from experimental to operational. And when deployed within sovereign, air-gapped environments, these capabilities move beyond cloud-based analytics to deliver mission-ready intelligence. Learn more:

Wildfire season is now a reality in Canada. Our climate is changing, and it’s a question of how — not if — we deal with it. We’re working with firefighters, like Chief Brolund in West Kelowna, to keep communities informed, prepared, and supported every step of the way.

Type “building” and the model finds the buildings. This is what deploying Google Earth AI imagery models in advanced spatial intelligence systems looks like in practice. Inside Vantor Sentry, Google Earth AI’s Open Vocabulary Detection (OVD) models allow analysts to identify objects in high-resolution satellite imagery simply by typing what they’re looking for. No pre-training. No custom labeling workflow. Combined with the quality and accuracy of Vantor’s spatial foundation—including the satellite imagery you see here—this provides sovereign operators with an unparalleled capability. Deployed inside a secure, air-gapped environment, this capability accelerates: 🔒 Persistent site monitoring 🔄 Change detection 🏗️ Infrastructure analysis 🗺️ Mission planning And because these models are integrated into Tensorglobe, they don’t operate in isolation. They can be fine-tuned locally using Vantor satellite imagery, third-party commercial data, sovereign sensor feeds, and customer-owned private archives. This is how foundation models become operational tools. Learn more:

Project Genie is a Google Labs experiment that lets you simulate dynamic worlds you can navigate in real time with Genie, our general-purpose world model. Today, we’re connecting Project Genie to nearly 20 years of Street View data from Google Maps — so you can now build interactive spaces based on real-world locations. Street View imagery in Project Genie is available now for places in the U.S., and will expand to more locales over time. #GoogleIO
