Abstract

There is provided networks, systems and displays for providing derived data and predictive information for use in emergencies; and in particular for use in wildfire emergencies. More particularly, there is provided systems, equipment and networks having a control system having an operation control command plan for performing an operation plan. in embodiments the operation plan can be a hydration plan, a lockout plan, a low line pressure plan, an adjacent structure based plan, an auto-activation notice with default activation plan. In an embodiment there is provided a parcel by parcel control and optimization of the EFMS for a particular area.

Claims (15)

1 . A system for mitigating fire risks, the system comprising:

a. an external fire management system (EFMS);

b. a control system in control communication with the EFMS and configured for control communication with a GUI device;

c. the control system comprising an operation control command plan for performing an operation plan;

d. the operation control command plan for performing an operation plan comprising an auto-activation notice with default activation plan; and,

e. wherein the auto-activation notice with default activation plan is configured to upon a first event:

i. determine a time to activation;

ii. start a countdown to activation based upon the determined time to activation;

iii. send a first automatic activation notice to the GUI device; and,

iv. activate the EFMS upon an end of the countdown, unless the control system receives a deactivation instruction from the GUI device; and,

v. wherein the auto-activation notice with default activation plan is configured to upon a second event adjust the time to activation to provide an adjusted countdown; send a second automatic activation notice to the GUI device, based upon the adjusted countdown; and activate the EFMS upon an end of the adjusted countdown, unless the control system receives a deactivation instruction from the GUI device.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the auto-activation notice with default activation plan is configured to upon a third event adjust the time to activation to provide a second adjusted countdown; send a third automatic activation notice to the GUI device, based upon the second adjusted countdown; and activate the EFMS upon an end of the second adjusted countdown, unless the control system receives a deactivation instruction from the GUI device.

3 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a hydration plan.

4 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a lockout plan.

5 . The system of claim 1 , comprising two or more of an interlock, a hydration plan, a lockout plan, a low line pressure plan, and an adjacent structure based plan.
