- Short description: A forest-fire simulation program using firecrews &
- air tankers to fight forest-fires in a real-time environment.
-
- Description:
-
- You are the Captain of "Central Fire Command", a computerized
- forest fire fighting command center . Via downlink from an
- infra-red satellite in geo-synchronous orbit, you have a birds eye view
- of 180,000 acres of coastland somewhere in the Northwest.
- The land is heavily forested and mountainous, rivers, roads, a lake
- and even building are visible due to computer enhancement of satellite
- images. Via GPS (geo-positioning system) uplink, you have the real-time
- location of 4 ground fire crews and 2 air tankers.
- Using your command console you can direct the movement of the ground
- and air units to fight the fire. You also have access to real-time
- weather information (wind direction & speed) and also have the
- ability to change the wind direction & speed. Other information is
- provided like: acres on fire, acres burned, structures lost & day & time.
- Of course, you need a fire to fight so you have options not available
- to most fire command centers. Like starting fires-either randomly or
- manually.
