    THE CAD ZONE INC. has announced the release of Version 9.0 of its Fire Zone diagramming software for the fire service. Features include: • Faster user interface – Toolbars and menus have been re-designed to be more efficient. It’s now much faster to find commands, change object properties and edit existing objects in the drawing. • Aerial views from Bing maps – Enter the address or name of a facility to retrieve a recent satellite photo of the area and place it in the diagram as a background image. Place lines, notes and symbols on top the photo for a quick pre-plan. • New 2D and 3D textures – New texture patterns can be used to show grass, water, asphalt, concrete, wood grain and more. • New “Heads Up Display” – The user can now choose to automatically show object properties and geometry on-screen as they draw, updated in real time. • Import AutoCAD 2011 drawings – Import existing drawings from AutoCAD 2011 and other CAD programs commonly available from building departments. • Moving camera animations – Animations can now be created with a moving viewpoint by fixing the “camera” to any position on a moving symbol.

    Precisely
    Precisely provides San Bernardino County with pro bono access to its Wildfire Risk solution, offering a detailed assessment of wildfire severity and probability in the region. Image shows analysis spanning the city's edge to the mountain rim and throughout the desert areas of the County. Color-coding on the image represents different types of threats. Purple areas denote locations where embers are the primary threat (which typically happens in transition zones between wildlands and urban areas). Dark red areas indicate where there is high densities of homes or communities which have been rated as “very high” for risk. The muted colors show wildland areas where homes are more widely spaced out or indicate areas of the National Forest.
