AbstractA fire manager needs to rapidly assimilate information on the weather, the state of the fuels, and the topography just to get an idea of the fire danger. In addition, he is usually worried about the supply and deployment of fire fighters and their suppression equipment (including water). Because bushfires are a perennial occurrence in Australia a number of decision support systems have been developed and are in operational use. The PREPLAN system used by the New South Wales National Parks Service and the Kakadu expert system are briefly discussed before dealing with the ongoing development of the National Bushfire Model project. Australian fire fighting authorities use a number of different algorithms to predict fire spread, and use a variety of geographic information systems (GIS) to generate their geographic database. Any bushfire-control decision support system that is intended for more than local use must therefore be capable of handling different dynamic models and different geographic databases. The National Bushfire Model project aims to produce a personal computer-based decision support system that incorporates real-time assimilation of meteorological data, has the ability to read in data from various GIS formats as well as satellites, and can utilise different spread algorithms. The prototype version was tested in southeastern Australia during the summer of 1989/90. Problems were encountered with the communications system, but when these are fixed the system should prove a useful operational tool.
