What is AF IS ….

• It supports both ground based resources

through mobile solutions and dispatch control centers with the fire dashboard and integrates with any existing GIS platforms and CMS's

• It dynamically links fire incidents with

weather, fire danger and historical events for improved decision making

• It is a hosted Software Solution which

provides a proactive service with out the need for specialised IT support

• Wildfire Information Monitoring and

Visualization framework that allows for the integration of any relevant data source to assist fire managers.

• Developed in partnership with fire managers

from the forestry and utilities domain over more than 10 years

• Fully integrates satellite based and forest

camera detections in to seamless detection network.
