Abstract
A remote-start system can be used with sprinkler systems to provide structure protection in the event of a wildfire or can be adapted for pump relay applications in wildfire operations. This project aimed to identify and acquire the remote-start technology available for sprinkler systems, and to evaluate its usefulness for wildfire applications.
