One of the greatest threats and environmental disasters that occur annually in south-west Europe is that of forest fires. FIRE-RS proposes to reduce their impact by providing emergency agencies and coordination centres with an innovative tool for the early detection and the efficient management of fires. During the project a multidisciplinary and international team will create a platform which by the use of new technologies will give very precise information almost in real time on the perimeter of the fire, its location, and the existing danger.
