“The unique nature of fighting fires necessitates the use of knowing the precise locations of teams, equipment, and potential hazards,” he told me.

“EdgyBees augments live video feeds with geo-information layers, including maps, building layouts, points of interest, user-generated markers, and more data layers that provide visual context and operational intelligence.”
