From November 1, the Wanzhou District, Chongqing applied for all 685 fire hydrant gps satellite positioning, optimizing the fire resources.

Previously, when the fire department received a turnout instruction, due to impossible to estimate the most convenient route to the scene of a fire, or some new drivers and messengers of the key units and the fire hydrant in this area are not familiar with the roads from time to time will have detours and open the wrong car event , or they reached the scene, you can not quickly identify the location of fire hydrants is not conducive to timely and expeditious manner into the fire.


Now, the fire department use of GPS satellite positioning technology, the area information such as fire hydrant and fire water-based data acquisition system after the entry, in the event of fire, firefighters would only need to use the computer the location of the fire entered the system, namely the use of GPS satellite positioning to the nearby fire hydrant, fire water available information such as accurate and displayed on the electronic map, in order to protect the firefighters can be the most convenient way, the fastest speed they reached the scene to find fire water and fire hydrants, rapid fire, to protect ordinary people's life and property.


At present, Wanzhou District, Chongqing has successfully completed the region's 685 municipal fire hydrant of satellite positioning and archives building work.


Satellite positioning system, global positioning system (Global Positioning System). Simply put, this is a global coverage of the 24 satellites of the satellite systems. The system can guarantee that at any time, any point on Earth can be simultaneously observed four satellites, to ensure that satellites can be collected to the observation point latitude and longitude and height in order to achieve the navigation, positioning, timing and other functions. This technique can be used to guide the aircraft, ships, vehicles and personal, secure and accurate along the chosen route, time and destination.
