RAM Mapping Using our airborne mapping system we can provide heat intensity maps of the fire perimeter as well as an accurate fire perimeter. We can, under normal flying conditions, provide full coverage of a 30,000 acre fire in one day or the more significant portions several times a day. Data from each flight is brought back to the trailer and can be published and in the hands of fire management within 30 - 45 minutes after completion of the flight. We also offer real-time down linking of the data so fire management can see what the fire is doing as the helicopter is flying over it. The sophistication of our camera allows us to fly all day long, rather than the traditional systems that are limited to early in the morning and late in the evening. Fire crews have raved over the years at how much time has been saved by them knowing right where to look for hot spots near the line, rather than searching by gridding an area. Our points have generally been found to be accurate to less than 10 meters. In addition to our heat maps, our GIS personnel have the tools and knowledge necessary to provide the full range of other fire support maps useful on an incident (Briefing maps, IAP maps, terrain maps, progression maps, rehab. maps, etc). Our camera system is also valuable for mapping out burn intensity of the fire and for mapping dozer lines for later rehabilitation. When ordered, we will bring to the scene our camera system mounted on a helicopter with support vehicle, pilot, and camera operator. We will also bring a GIS trailer and operator, to be set near the Situation Unit. The trailer will need electricity provided. Key Benefits
