:08:35. > :08:40.Also water sources to fight a fire, conventional or otherwise.
:08:41. > :08:43.The information is collated into a 3D plan, accessible
:08:44. > :08:46.by computer from fire engines on their way to an incident.
:08:47. > :08:49.It is important that this much preplanning can be done as possible
:08:50. > :08:54.to make the incident commander aware and plan for what he is approaching
:08:55. > :08:59.You do not want to do this at three o'clock in the morning
