"When they hear the telltale sirens of a fire truck bursting out of the station in Nanaimo, the locals don't need to look out of the window or tune in to newscasts to find out where the action is. Instead, they can simply log on to Google Maps or Google Earth and track the firefighters in real time as they tear down the streets of this Vancouver Island port community. "  Read the rest of the article here.

This sounds like a great idea to be brought before all town and city councils. 

Have a good one.

Wow! I guess one COULD do that. I use Google maps, but never thought about Google Earth that way.
