Spot's Fire Engine

Product Information

Automatic emergency braking: Vehicle-mounted sensors, such as radar, cameras or lasers, detect an impending crash, warn the driver and apply brakes if the driver doesn’t respond fast enough. The feature extraction component includes three convolution modules of different scales and residual edges. The convolution modules are Conv-2, Conv-3, and Conv-4; that is, the size of the convolution kernel is 2, 3, and 4. Each convolution module includes two convolutional layers and a maximum pooling layer, and each convolutional layer is followed by a rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function. In this study, convolutional neural networks were used in the convolution module to select features. Through convolutional layers of different scales, feature selection and extraction can be performed in different ranges, which is not only beneficial to reduce the weight of the features with poor correlation with wildfire in the original feature, but also a more comprehensive analysis of the relationship between different quantitative features and extract the key features. In the pooling layer, we chose to use the maximum pooling to retain the key features to the greatest extent, while reducing the dimension of the features to facilitate subsequent calculations. The residual edge in the convolution module prevents the loss of original features and effectively solves the problem of neural network degradation. The feature extraction component fuses the features extracted by the three convolution modules of different scales with the original features as the output. Fully Connected Layer Classifier

Therefore, the objective of the study is to propose an active fire detection system using a novel convolutional neural network (FireCNN) based on Himawari-8 satellite imageries, to fill the research gap of this area. The presented FireCNN uses multi-scale convolution and residual acceptance design, which can effectively extract the accurate characteristics of fire spots, and to improve the fire detection accuracy. The main contributions of our study are as follows. 1) We developed a novel active fire detection convolutional neural network (FireCNN) based on Himawari-8 satellite images. The new method utilizes multi-scale convolution to comprehensively assess the characteristics of fire spots and uses residual structures to retain the original characteristics, which makes it able to extract the key features of the fire spots. 2) A new Himawari-8 active fire detection dataset was created, which includes a training set and a test set. The training set includes 654 fire spots and 1,308 non-fire spots, and the test set includes 1,169 fire spots and 2,338 non-fire spots. London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said: "I'm really pleased we can now introduce this new model of fire engine which will meet the demands of a modern firefighter and keep them safe. We use Spotfire to gather data, enrich the data, analyze and mobilize the data followed by sales forecasting…Using R and Python, we have solved complex data processing and analytic algorithms for financial statements’ aging reports! It was amazing and impossible with others without doing additional hard work."Fire apparatus manufacturers have embraced the use of technologies available in automobiles to help drivers avoid operating mistakes. Some of the more popular technologies being used are: Just a few years ago, I wrote the article “8 game-changing apparatus trends from 2017,” looking at new technology that would enable fire departments to get more operational capability out of fewer fire apparatus while keeping up with the expanded scope of the job and decreased staffing. That evolution is ongoing, with technology innovations happening faster than ever. Fire is an important ecosystem process and has played a complex role in shaping landscapes, biodiversity and terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere environment ( Bixby et al., 2015; Ryu et al., 2018; McWethy et al., 2019; Tymstra et al., 2020). It provide nutrients and habitat for vegetation and animals, and plays multiple important roles in maintaining healthy ecosystems ( Ryan et al., 2013; Brown et al., 2015; Harper et al., 2017). However, wildfires are also destructive forces—it cause great loss of human life and damage to property, atmospheric pollution, soil damage and so on. The existing studies showing an estimated global annual burning area of approximately 420 million hectares ( Giglio et al., 2018). Therefore, to reduce the negative impact of fire, real-time detection of active fires should be carried out, which can provide timely and valuable information for fire management department. Easier to maneuver so they can be driven into tight spaces for better access to a fire in its incipient stage.

Mercedes Ategos form the majority of the RBFRS fire engine fleet. Of these, four are specialist 4×4 vehicles based at strategic locations across the county. This week the Brigade is rolling out a brand new model of fire engine for the first time in a decade. The new engine includes a high pressure hose which can deliver twice as much water than the previous model and a more ergonomic crew cab. With the continuous development of satellite remote sensing technology, an increasing number of researchers have chosen to use satellite multispectral images to detect forest wildfires ( Allison et al., 2016; Kaku, 2019; Barmpoutis et al., 2020). The common features of fires are bright flames and smoke produced during combustion, as well as high temperatures on fire surfaces that are different from the surrounding environment. Smoke and flames produced during combustion can be detected in the visible light bands of remote sensing images, and high temperatures on the surface of fires are easily detected in the mid-infrared, shortwave infrared and thermal infrared bands ( Leblon et al., 2012). In moderate or low spatial resolution images, the fire is represented as a fire spot with extremely high temperature, which also called thermal anomalies on a per-pixel basis ( Xie et al., 2016). For instance, MOD14 monitors fire actively at a 1km spatial resolution. Satellite remote sensing has the advantages of strong timeliness, wide observation range and low cost, which provides great convenience for fire detection ( Coen and Schroeder, 2013; Xie et al., 2018). Apparatus manufacturers are maximizing storage compartments as part of overall apparatus design. Relocating equipment outside the cab is also helpful in case of an apparatus accident because there are no unsecured items in the cab to become moving projectiles that can injure firefighters.Select the option or tab named “Internet Options (Internet Explorer)”, “Options (Firefox)”, “Preferences (Safari)” or “Settings (Chrome)”. Opinion: A plea to first responders: Join FirstNet to expand your communications options ] Trend 4: Protecting firefighters from contaminants Wireless communication allows firefighters to operate some apparatus control panels using wireless devices, such as tablets or smartphones. Fire departments’ adoption of the clean cab concept for fire apparatus to protect their firefighters from cancer-causing contaminants has prompted fire departments and manufacturers to create compartment space outside the crew compartment so that contaminated gear and equipment can be isolated from personnel when they’re returning to quarters.

A part of the study area was cut out from the multispectral image data, and a grid of M × M size was set up at the centre of each pixel. The average and standard deviation of each band in the grid were calculated as the surrounding environment information of the pixels. To ensure that the pixels at the edge of the image can also set a sufficient window size, a sufficient width of the mirror edge was added to the image before processing. The training data is provided by Meteorological Satellite Ground Station, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, which use combination of traditional algorithm and field survey. Crew compartments are being designed using non-porous materials to minimize contamination and enable firefighters to clean those surfaces more safely, effectively and efficiently. Crew seats can be treated with antimicrobial finishes, and removable seat covers are available. Apparatus manufacturers, and fire departments creating specifications for new apparatus, welcome these developments for several reasons:

Active fire detection methods can be divided into two types: those that are based on a manual design algorithm, primarily the threshold method, and the alternative approach, based on deep learning, including shallow neural networks and image-level deep networks.

As a result fire crews could spend a couple of hours sat in the cab. With this in mind, the seating area in this newly designed engine has been built with extra space and crew comfort.
