Comment on Paper maps, two-way radios: how firefighting tech is stuck in the pastparent

Comments

I love articles like this, just because I can't wait to see them satirized on n-gate.com. My favorite moment was when they said radio allows only one person to talk at once (like that's a bad thing).

But yeah, how did you get from the bedroom to the kitchen today? Was it by futuristic nucular (sic) hoverboard, or did you use million-year-old "walking" technology you damned stuck-in-the-past Luddite?

Firefighting is one of those things that takes place when various types of shit are hitting the fan. No one involved should hitch their wagon to the availability of any advanced-ish technology, including an internet connection.
