I could use remote sensing to help me look at my city from a new perspective. Using aerial photographs and satellite imagery, I could find buildings that might pose a fire risk. I may be able to see buildings that I might not see as well from the ground. I could also use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to help me find the locations of buildings that are fire risks. By equipping my firefighters with GPS units, I can track their locations when they are in the city and when they are fighting fires. Finally, I can use geographic information systems (GIS) to plot maps of where risky buildings are located. I can predict where fires may happen by looking at patterns in my city.
