# Add or move Sensors

After a path or area has been drawn, a sensor may have been placed in a location free of trees or perhaps in a location where a sensor cannot be deployed, such as on a building.

## Add Sensors

Wildfire Sensors can be added to areas or paths.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Any customization of an area or path overwrites the default placement of sensors.
{% endhint %}
