According to statistics collected by the US government fire departments respond to over 300000 home fires each year. A person with special needs can be at greater risk of death or injury caused by a fire. Anything that indicates to firefighters or other EMS personnel the location of a person with special needs can be beneficial in getting him help as soon as possible.

Monitoring the post-burn recovery condition of chaparral vegetation in southern California is important for managers to determine the appropriate time to conduct controlled burns. Due to the difficulty of monitoring post-fire recovery over large areas and the absence of detailed fire records in many areas, we examined the possibility of using satellite observations to establish the post-fire recovery stage of chamise chaparral stands in this region. SPOT XS data collected on three dates between 1986 and 1992 were analysed to determine if temporal changes in a spectral vegetation indcx tracked the expected post-fire recovery trajectory of the above-ground biomass of chamise chaparral stands of varying post-fire ages. Results of the study indicated that neither the normalized difference vegetation index nor the soil adjusted vegetation index followed the expected post-fire recovery patterns in these stands. These findings are explained by interannual variations in precipitation having a larger than expected effect on the growth of this drought-resistant evergreen community, with changes in green leaf area dominating the temporal variations in the spectral vegetation indices.
