Fire weather data acquisition: The system uses weather data and weather forecasts from the Atmospheric Environment Service (AES) and the Canadian Hydro meteorological Service. The data is gathered automatically and manually from the meteorological stations and the ANIK-D satellite from the North part of Canada. This project integrates 250 meteorological stations on the entire territory of Canada.
Data storage and analysis: CWFIS operates in the Workstation County on top of a UNIX platform. The descriptive data model is implemented in the Oracle relational database. The spatial data is stored in ARC/info, in the raster and vector format.
Fire Weather Modeling: This system is used by the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System (Van Wagner 1987), as a basis for modeling and displaying of the possibility of fire occurrence in the forests. The calculation of the components is based on consecutive daily monitoring of the temperature, the relative humidity, the wind speed, and the 24-hour rainfall.
Fine Fuel Moisture Code : It is the ratings of the total amount of the available combustion fuel, which are numerical values and are calculated by mathematical means.
Fire Weather Index: It is the numerical value of the potential fire intensity, that is the combination of the initial spread index and the ratings of the fuel.

Using the above data, determine GDP by both the expenditures and the income approaches. Then determine NDP. Now determine NI in two ways: first, by making the required additions or subtractions from NDP; and second, by adding up the types of income and taxes that make up NI. Adjust NI (from part b) as required to obtain PI. Adjust PI (from part c) as required to obtain DI

A fire alarm system inside an office building has two types of activation devices, A and B, which operate independently. Probability that device A is turned on in the case of a fire is 0.97. Probability that device B is turned on in the case of a fire is 0.85. When there is a fire, the fire alarm system is turned on when at least one of two activation devices is turned on. Probability that both devices are turned on...
