Liberty Utilities has partnered with ALERTWildfire to sponsor fire cameras in the Tahoe area to help monitor wildfires in the region.

ALERTWildfire is a camera monitoring network run by the University of Nevada, Reno. The live video feeds are accessible to the public, and emergency responders can access the cameras’ pan, tilt and zoom capabilities to better monitor remote areas.

Cameras are accessible to the public in three places: the ALERTWest website, the ALERTWildfire website, and the Watch Duty app.

UNR says the built-in artificial intelligence provided by ALERTWest is designed to alert first responders to smoke plumes from the feeds. 

The cameras guide response by firefighting agencies and give the public real-time information about the fires affecting their communities.
