Bhubaneswar, Nov 13: The Odisha Forest Department is set to expand the use of Avenza Maps, a mobile application, across additional forest divisions to bolster wildfire control in the 2025 season after successful implementation in 2024.

Initially employed in the Paralakhemundi division, the app has proven effective for tracking, planning, and managing fire lines in fire-prone areas. Through Avenza Maps, frontline staff can import fire line data from Google Earth, accurately monitor fire zones, and attach real-time field photos, enabling more efficient and responsive firefighting operations.

Maintaining over 12,000 km of fire lines annually, the Odisha Forest Department reported a 99.86% response rate to forest fires in 2024, drastically reducing fire-affected areas.

With preparations underway for the upcoming season in January 2025, divisional officers are updating action plans to build on these advancements, aiming to minimize wildfire impacts further and safeguard Odisha’s forests.
