Changing the World — New South Wales Rural Fire Service
The natural landscape and vegetation of Australia are recognized as some of the most fire prone and volatile in the world. A challenge for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, which is comprised of 70,000 personnel, has been to obtain accurate and easy-to-interpret information about fire position and behavior in a timely manner. To combat this problem, the fire service developed two programs with Pitney Bowes MapInfo – HeliFIRE and MapDesk. HeliFIRE is designed to be used in-flight to gather live fire intelligence through GPS and moving map formats. MapDesk is a desktop solution used within an emergency management center to deliver a range of maps and information. These two programs deliver critical location intelligence to all firefighters, as well as other combat and support agencies throughout the community.
