To kickoff 2025, our partners at FIRE SAFE San Mateo County are holding their first meeting Wednesday, January 8th. Join via Zoom to hear Gadi Benjamini share FireDome's AI #wildfire as-a service platform. I've collaborated with FIRE SAFE San Mateo Executive Director Denise Enea to invite FireDome to be the guest presenter at their first meeting of 2025. Join via Zoom to hear Gadi Benjamini, Co-founder and CEO discuss FireDome's platform and their interest in finding potential qualifying test partners. FIRE SAFE San Mateo and Santa Clara County FireSafe Council frequently collaborate on projects, including the current 33-mile-long Highway 35, Multi-County Evacuation Route project, funded through FSSMC's $2.6 million grant. We are grateful to be included in this by Denise and her team who had available funds to include 8 miles of Santa Clara County included in this major regional evacuation route enhancement. Thank you, Denise & FIRE SAFE San Mateo County. See Denise's email below. Denise Enea 12/31/24    Please join Fire Safe SMC on January 8, 2025 for an online, in-depth discussion on something quite exceptional in the sphere of wildfire prevention.
