On November 9, 2018, in the mountain above Bansko, Bulgaria in the area of Chalin Valog, a demonstration experiment was carried out for the prevention of fires through early detection and notification of the presence of a fire.

The demonstration and experiments were carried out in cooperation with the invaluable support of the Bulgarian National Emergency Management Authority, the Fire Safety and Civil Protection General Directorate, of the Ministry of Interior of Bulgaria.

The aim of the seminar was to present the achievements of the ASPires project and to demonstrate live the practical possibilities of the early warning platform in the presence of forest fires.

Was simulated a burning fire by the burning of a straw.
After a few seconds the fire was recognized by the installed equipment. The system automatically alerts the presence of fire by SMS notification to the mobile phone numbers provided by the attendees.
