The system that began to be installed in 2006 by the regional government, allowed in 2012 four fires so far this year and has monitored another 31 fires, some of them in neighboring provinces. 19 thermal cameras cover an area of about 380,000 hectares. They help prevent forest fires and also facilitate extinguishing tasks thanks to the thermographic and real-time monitoring of the foci, as well as the precise location on the available cartography of the area. ![Santiago Jaramillo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/latinpress/editor-sjaramillo.jpeg) Santiago JaramilloEmail: sjaramillo@latinpressinc.com Editor Comunicador social y periodista con más de 15 años de trayectoria en medios digitales e impresos especializados para América Latina.
