Fighting fires in Victoria
The players: The SAU, a joint initiative between the CFA and the Department of Sustainability and Environment, helps co-ordinate Victoria’s bushfire efforts through fire-spotting planes and water bombers, with 35 aircraft under contract plus another 160 on call.
The problem: With another fire season fast approaching, the SAU was looking for innovative ways to get a more complete picture of a fire to decision-makers and those on the ground.
The solution: Momentum’s m-View technology streams multiple video feeds to the decision-makers and other key stakeholders.
- Live video is streamed from the air, via fire-spotting aircraft and water bombers. Viewers watch a fire’s progress in real time and can also instantly see the effect of fire retardant on an advancing fire-front.
- Live video is streamed from the ground, via a fleet of m-View enabled mobile phones.
Why m-View?
m-View provides a completely mobile way of getting live video footage from the air and ground to the command centre and to other key stakeholders, complementing traditional voice communications.The system allows for multiple feeds, and the cameras in the aircraft have full pan, tilt and zoom functionality – all of which can be controlled remotely.
m-View allows fire-fighters and decision-makers to switch from the big picture to the individual hotspots, instantly.
“Traditionally we used voice communication as our primary means of describing what was going on with a fire, but this can be open to interpretation. m-View puts a picture to the words,” says Adam Damen of the SAU.
