  Nick,



  ESRI publishes the ArcView software that we plan to use for fire-related
models.



  Doesn't NPR make its broadcasts available on the net?  I'd like to hear
this but I don't have time to monitor the local stations this AM.



  Thanks,



  Frank

  Hi,



  Those of you in the west might keep your ears peeled for an NPR report I
just heard  (11.30 eastern) on a guy in the LA fire department who, in
conjunction with a company called ESRI in Redlands California has developed
maps that predict fire movement and allow command centers to allocate
resources more efficiently.  Apparently was involved in keep ing a recent
fire from jumping 101.  It definitey piqued my curiosity...:  if anybody
else hears or heard it, could you comment?



  thanks,



  Nick
