From the text... 'An ideal forest fire detection system would detect fires the instant they start, day or night, under any condition of visibility. Additionally, it could distinguish potentially dangerous fires from those that would not concern fire suppression forces. Although attainment of such an ideal system now appears to be well beyond the reach of modern technology, detailed study of the requirements for an ideal system may well show where space age technology could be applied frequently.'
