Board (CWCB) implement one or more pilot programs using remote camera technology
to detect, identify, or confirm the existence of wildfires in the wildland-urban
interface. It specifies parameters for the pilot program, and further directs
agencies of state and local governments to provide information, assistance,
and site access as necessary for the programâs implementation. The CWCB
must implement the pilot program by April 2023, and annually report on
the program(s) to the Wildfire Matters Review Committee beginning in August
