In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps firefighters. The computer keeps information about every one
of the 350 000 street addresses in the city. When firefighters answer a call,the computer will give them
important information about the burning building: its position, size and so on. In fact, the computer system has
a lot of ways of helping firefighters with the problems facing them. For example, it can give medical information about invalids (伤残者) living in a burning building. With this information, the firefighters can take special care
to find these sick persons and save them. The Kansas City computer system also keeps a medical record of
each of the city's 900 firefighters. This kind of information is especially useful when a fireman is injured. With
this medical information, doctors can treat the injured firefighters more quickly and easily.
The firefighters themselves need the computer's help. They know about possible dangers and prepare for
them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property. Sometimes the lives are those of
firefighters themselves!
