    Read excerpt

    Last month, two fire detection cameras were installed outside Jackson Hole, monitoring near Snow King Mountain and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. They act as modern fire towers, using artificial intelligence to look for wildfire smoke. “We’re trying to catch fires that start right on the edge of the community, because history is showing us that those are the most devastating fires, the ones that start not way out in the wilderness, but the ones that are relatively close to the community,” said Ra
