Previous research suggested infrared technology on aerial platforms
enables fire managers to make better forest fire fighting decisions.
In 1992-93, an evaluation was conducted of the costs and benefits of
installing Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology on bird-dog
planes using cost data provided by the Government of Alberta and
opinions of experienced users. As part of the study, 11 air-attack
officers in Alberta with experience using FLIRs were asked to
estimate the savings to be realized in retardant costs, flying costs,
and area burned by employing this technology. This report provides
the results of the evaluation.
