    Project Details

    The CZU Lightning Complex fires were wildfires that burned in Northern California starting in August 2020. This wildfire prompted the Lafayette Police Department to upgrade its aerial assessment capabilities to evaluate the extensive damages caused by the devastating fire. Partnering with GeoAcuity, they employed WingtraOne drone technology to conduct detailed surveys of the worst-hit areas, covering over 1500 acres in a single day across challenging terrain.
