A new set of eyes is helping to keep Tahoe safe 24/7. UC San Diego's ALERTCalifornia program has installed two new cameras enhanced with AI, giving clear views of the northern Lake Tahoe area. These cameras scan the landscape in real time, monitoring for smoke or fire the moment it appears. When a camera spots something unusual, an alert is sent to the closest CAL FIRE Emergency Command Center. There, trained staff confirm if it’s a new fire before dispatching crews. This type of early detection

Marsh Aviation converted the planes to a firefighting configuration and were retrofitted with modern, powerful turboprop engines. The completely reconditioned S-2Ts are faster, safer, more
