Our map can be behind the fire

Wildfire conditions and perimeters can change faster than maps, briefings and radio reports are updated. Decision-makers need a way to combine current perimeter information, fire behaviour, weather, terrain, imagery and values at risk.

Technology approaches

UAS perimeter mapping

Aircraft flown over the incident to produce a current perimeter rather than a remembered one.

Satellite observations

Regular overhead coverage of large or remote incidents.

Infrared imagery

Heat through smoke, for perimeter and hot spots at night.

GIS common operating pictures

One map that carries perimeter, resources, values at risk and terrain together.

Fire behaviour modelling

Projections of spread under given fuels, weather and terrain — with their assumptions visible.

Wildland Fire Decision Support System

The federal system for documenting and supporting decisions on a wildland incident.

Real-time weather and fire intelligence

Observations and forecasts tied to the incident rather than the region.
