About

Fighting Treetop Fire (FTF) is an Israeli company developing innovative AI and laser-based technology to address wildfires. Their technology uses algorithm-controlled laser beams to strip leaves and thin branches off trees, preventing forest fires from advancing as treetop fires and forcing them down to a controllable level. The company was founded in 2012 by Daniel Leigh, a physicist expert in electro-optics and laser technologies. FTF aims to mitigate climate change by decreasing wildfire size, which reduces GHG emissions and minimizes carbon storage loss. The technology was submitted for a patent in 2010, and the company has secured issued patents in the USA, Europe, and Australia.
