Throughout the fire season, detection aircraft fly over 50 million hectares of forest looking for suspicious smoke. Their flight path is based on information regarding fire danger, lightning and weather conditions. The route taken by detection aircraft that are equipped with a GPS is followed in real time by attendants who remain in constant communication with pilots to validate their observations.
