Civil Defence says it was among the first government service departments to use artificial intelligence. Every building in Dubai, the hotels and all the facilities, carries the firefighting and incident reporting system it introduced in 2008: "this system of ours reads the systems and reports back to us every ten seconds", across what the speaker puts at more than eighty to ninety thousand connected buildings, confirming each one is working. Having established that about 90 percent of fires start from electrical contact, the directorate is placing a nano tag of no less than 2 cm by 2 cm inside electrical transformers so that a small fire is fought from the inside rather than from outside.
