In the summer of 2018, the dry and hot climate will increase the rate of wildfires. Where there are wildfires or grass fires, firefighters will be needed. The problem is that over this year, report shows the recorded data which reflects that there have been quite a lot of firefighter fatalities due to wildfires. It's too easy that firefighters to get lost in large fields of sweeping fires. Thus, something had to be done to keep better tabs on the squad members while they were fighting off the wildfires. That's why firefighter squads have already implemented the use of GPS trackeing device for the team members to keep themselves protected.

Some firefighters' fire truck have been equipped with GPS trackers. The data such as speed, location and direction of the truck may be helpful to supervisors. Moreover, GPS tracking device are used for firefighters much like they are for the trucks. The live map feature of GPS tracking software is the most important thing, the map shows the real-time location of truck. While the firefighters are fighting off the blazing wildfire in question, the supervisor can have a live view of each person's exact location. This increases the chance of rescue should a fire become out of control.
