By integrating two successful technologies, the Forest Service is working to create a new tool that will allow fire managers to relay critical fire information to dispersed field units in real time. The Remote Sensing Applications Center will be working with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and wildland fire personnel to integrate the RIPCom sketchmapping system into wildland fire operations during the 2007 fire season. The ultimate goal is to increase firefighter safety and to improve overall operational effectiveness in wildland fire monitoring and suppression.
